ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las lesiones en la cavidad oral son con frecuencia las primeras evidencias clínicas de la infección por VIH. Una amigdalitis hemorrágica debe hacer sospechar, entre otras causas, que exista un Sarcoma de Kaposi (SK). El SK, considerada una enfermedad marcadora de sida en la infección por VIH, afecta, fundamentalmente, la piel y con frecuencia la mucosa de la cavidad oral. Objetivo: identificar una amigdalitis hemorrágica como forma de presentación de un Sarcoma de Kaposi asociado al VIH Presentación del caso: Paciente masculino de 22 años, que consulta por odinofagia y disfagia. En la faringoscopìa se observan amígdalas hipertróficas y de aspecto hemorrágicas. Se sospecha causa sistémica, entre ellas la infección por VIH. Se confirma debut clínico de sida por SK con lesiones predominantes de cavidad oral incluyendo las amígdalas. Conclusiones: Las características hemorrágicas de una amigdalitis permitieron sospechar el diagnóstico infección por VIH con Sarcoma de Kaposi predominante en cavidad oral(AU)


Introduction: Lesions in the oral cavity can be the first clinical evidences of HIV infection. Hemorrhagic tonsillitis should be suspicious of a Kaposi's sarcoma, among other causes. Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is considered a marker of AIDS in HIV infection, which mainly affects the skin, but often acts upon the mucosa of the oral cavity. Objective: To identify hemorrhagic tonsillitis as a form of presentation of Kaposi's sarcoma associated to HIV. Case presentation: A 22-year-old male patient comes to the doctor´s office complaining of odynophagia and dysphagia. Hypertrophic tonsils of hemorrhagic aspect are observed in the laryngoscopy. Systemic cause is suspected, mainly, an HIV infection. A clinical onset of AIDS as a result of KS with predominant lesions in the oral cavity including the tonsils is confirmed. Conclusions: The hemorrhagic characteristics of tonsillitis leads to a presumptive diagnostic of HIV infection with a Kaposi's sarcoma occurring predominantly in the oral cavity(AU)

ABSTRACT

Atypical lymphocytosis due to infections is classically seen in viral and chronic bacterial infections. A four year old boy with acute streptococcal infection presented at Al-Nahdha Hospital, Muscat, Oman, with follicular tonsillitis and bilateral cervical lymphadenitis. The blood film showed 33% atypical lymphocytes. Serologically, immunoglobulin M [IgM] antibodies were positive for cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, and Epstein Barr virus, but the patient responded dramatically to antibiotics
