Across the globe, the presence of HIV is wide-spread. At the end of 2004, the United Nations HIV/AIDS program estimated that 2.5 million children under the age of 15 were affected worldwide. Additionally, approximately 500,000 children in that same age group died from disease-related cases in that year alone. In the United States, 90 percent of infected children are infected by the disease through birth.
The effects of the disease on children differ greatly from those in adults, according to a report/study that appears in the July/August 2006 issue of General Dentistry, the AGD's clinical, peer-reviewed journal. Type, severity and progression are all factors that differ, depending on the age at which one contracts the disease.
"Children do not demonstrate HIV-specific symptoms as adults do," says Kishore Shetty, DDS, lead author of the study. "Their bodies will most likely display an infection or weakness instead of common HIV signs."
The place where this most commonly occurs is in the mouth. There are many variations of the way lesions appear, but a few common types are: candidiasis, or "thrush," a fungal yeast infection; salivary gland enlargement; herpes simplex virus; inflammation of the gingiva; and canker sores.
"Orofacial manifestations of HIV are common in pediatric HIV infection," Shetty adds. "It is important to be aware of these signs, as they may serve as both a marker of infection and predictor of HIV progressing to AIDS."
What to do:
Visit your general dentist. They handle the majority of dental emergencies.
If you fear that your child or teen might be at risk, have them tested as soon as possible. The sooner a child is diagnosed, the sooner treatment can begin.
Communicate with your dentist if the child has HIV. It will alert them to look closely for signs of disease, plus allow them to provide the best possible treatment. 认领了。 儿童HIV感染者的口腔损害
目前，艾滋病病毒（HIV）正肆虐全球。2004年底，联合国艾滋病规划署估计全球有250万15岁以下儿童感染了HIV。另外，约500,000同一年龄组的儿童当年死于艾滋病的相关事件。在美国，被感染的儿童中有90%为分娩时受到的感染。
普通牙科学会的临床杂志《普通牙科》2006年七/八月刊上的一篇报道指出，艾滋病对儿童的影响与成人相比存在着巨大的差异。根据感染该病年龄的不同，疾病的类型、严重度和病程进展都有所不同。
Kishore Shetty，牙外科博士，该研究的第一作者，谈到：“儿童并不象成人那样表现出感染HIV的特异症状。他们更可能表现为感染或身体虚弱，而不是感染HIV的通常表现。”
最常发生这种表现的地方是口腔。损害出现的形式有很多种，但最常见的几种是：念球菌病，也叫“鹅口疮”，一种真菌感染；唾液腺肥大、单纯疱疹病毒感染、牙龈炎和口疮。
Shetty补充说：“儿童感染HIV的口腔和面部表现十分普遍。注意这些体征是非常重要的，它们既是感染HIV的标志，也是HIV感染向艾滋病进展的预报因子。”
措施：
到普通牙科医生处就诊。他们能够处理大多数牙科急症。
如果你担心你的孩子有被感染的危险，尽快做检测。越早做出诊断，就能越早开始治疗。
如果孩子感染了HIV，请与你的牙科医生进行沟通。这会提醒他们密切注意疾病可能发生的症状，同时提供可能的最佳治疗方案。 新浪编译
儿童艾滋病病毒感染者常伴有口腔损伤
艾滋病病毒（HIV）正肆虐全球。据联合国艾滋病规划署估计，仅2004年全球15岁以下儿童就有250万感染HIV，并有50万死于艾滋病。
刊登在美国普通牙科学会临床杂志《普通牙科》2006年七/八月刊上的一篇报道指出，HIV对儿童的影响与成人截然不同。感染年龄不同，疾病的类型、严重度和病程进展也会不同。
牙外科博士，报道第一作者，Kishore Shetty说：“儿童并不与成人一样表现出感染HIV的特异症状。他们更可能表现为传染或虚弱。”
最常表现的地方是口腔。损伤形式有很多种，最常见的几种是：念球菌病，也叫“鹅口疮”，一种真菌感染；唾液腺肥大；单纯疱疹病毒感染；牙龈炎和口疮等。
Shetty最后补充说：“儿童感染HIV后口腔和面部表现十分普遍。注意这些体征是非常重要的，它们既是感染HIV的标志，也是HIV感染向艾滋病进展的特征。”
预防措施：
到普通牙科医生处就诊，他们能够处理大多数牙科急症。
