Abstract
A 34-year-old African patient with AIDS developed a new form of oral leucoplakia closely resembling the "hairy" leucoplakia described by Greenspan in male homosexuals in the San Francisco area. A herpes-like virus was seen on ultrastructural analysis with electron microscopy. This case supplies further evidence suggesting that the syndrome in patients originating in Central Africa is similar to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) reported in American patients.Case ReportsJournal ArticleSCOPUS: ar.jFLWNAinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publisheKeywords
