Herpes zoster in HIV infection with osteonecrosis of the jaw and tooth exfoliation

Background: Herpes zoster (HZ) infection of the trigeminal nerve is associated with complications such as postherpetic neuralgia, facial scarring, loss of hearing ability and conjunctivitis. Until 2005, postherpetic alveolar necrosis and spontaneous tooth exfoliation have been described in 20 cases...

Reichart Dentistry Medicine Background: Herpes zoster (HZ) infection of the trigeminal nerve is associated with complications such as postherpetic neuralgia, facial scarring, loss of hearing ability and conjunctivitis. Until 2005, postherpetic alveolar necrosis and spontaneous tooth exfoliation have been described in 20 cases unrelated to HIV infection. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe HIV infection in patients (two women, two men, average age 30 years) who suffered from HZ attacks to their trigeminal nerves. Main outcome measures: None of the patients had received antiherpetic medications or antiretroviral therapy. HIV infection was only diagnosed after the development of HZ. Facial scarring with depigmentation and hyperesthesia (postherpetic neuralgia) was diagnosed in all four patients. Oral findings consisted of spontaneous loss of both maxillary or mandibular teeth. Osteonecrosis of varying extent was also found. Treatment consisted of extractions of teeth and administration of antibiotics and analgesics. Healing of alveolar wounds was unremarkable. Conclusion: Complications affecting the alveolar bone and teeth seem to be rare in HIV-infected patients. © 2006 The Authors. 2018-09-11T08:56:02Z 2018-09-11T08:56:02Z 2006-09-01 Journal 16010825 1354523X 2-s2.0-33747381972 10.1111/j.1601-0825.2006.01230.x https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=33747381972&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/61614
