The aim of this study was to evaluate the salivary profile of HIV-infected patients with and without Highly Active Antiretroviral Treatment (HAART), evaluating the Symptoms of salivary hypofunction (Xerostomia, Dysgeusia, Dysphagia, and Susceptibility to develop ulcers oral), the Unstimulated Salivary Flow Rate, Salivary pH and Salivary Viscosity, establishing their relationship with the degree of immunosuppression as assessed by the Counting of lymphocyte CD4/μl. We evaluated 126 patients with HIV infection with HAART and without HAART who were attended at the Health Strategy for Prevention and Control of STI, HIV and AIDS at the Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo, Lima- Peru. Patients without HAART had significantly higher rates of some salivary hypofunction Symptoms: Xerostomia , Dysgeusia Dysphagia) and Susceptibility to develop oral ulcers and significantly higher values of Salivary vis...

Existe una alteración de la función de las Glándulas salivales en la fase temprana de la infección por el VIH, la cual altera la calidad y la cantidad de la saliva durante el transcurso de la enfermedad. Objetivo: Determinar el Perfil salival de los pacientes con Infección por VIH y Con y Sin Tratamiento Antirretroviral de Gran Actividad (TARGA) y su asociación con su Grado de Inmunosupresión. Material y Métodos: Se evaluaron; el Perfil salival por medio de la evaluación de los Síntomas de Hipofunción salival (Xerostomía, Disgeusia, Disfagia y Susceptibilidad de desarrollar ulceras orales) a través de una encuesta, la Tasa de Flujo salival no estimulado a través del Método Gravimétrico, el pH salival por medio de la Cinta universal de pH y la Viscosidad salival a través del Método de Ostwald; así como el Grado de Inmunosupresión por medio del Recuento de Linfocitos CD...
