Pediatric victims of AIDS virus infection continue to increase. The major source of transmission is by birth from an HIV-positive mother. Recognition is often difficult because of the varied and misleading signs and symptoms. Only a few studies describe oral manifestations in children and adolescents. The most common oral findings include candidiasis, parotid salivary gland enlargement and herpetic infections. Oral involvement may reflect early signs and symptoms of HIV-related immunosuppression.
感染艾滋病病毒的儿童受害者数量持续增加。主要传播途径是由感染艾滋病毒的母亲在分娩时传播。由于症状多样且具有误导性，识别往往很困难。仅有少数研究描述了儿童和青少年的口腔表现。最常见的口腔表现包括念珠菌病、腮腺肿大和疱疹感染。口腔病变可能反映了与艾滋病毒相关的免疫抑制的早期症状。
