We report on a 12-year-old girl infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who developed oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL). This is the fifth child with OHL whose case has been described so far. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by ultrastructural documentation of a herpes-type virus in the lesional scraping specimen. Exfoliative material was obtained by a painless and noninvasive procedure. We conclude that ultrastructural examination of lingual exfoliative cytological specimens from clinically suspected OHL is a noninvasive and painless method for confirming the clinical diagnosis of OHL.
我们报告了一名12岁感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)的女孩,她患上了口腔毛状白斑(OHL)。这是迄今为止有病例描述的第五个患OHL的儿童。通过对病变刮取标本中疱疹型病毒的超微结构记录,证实了临床诊断。通过无痛且非侵入性的程序获取了脱落细胞材料。我们得出结论,对临床疑似OHL的舌部脱落细胞学标本进行超微结构检查,是一种用于确认OHL临床诊断的非侵入性且无痛的方法。
