Abstract:
This is the first-case report of isolated human immunodeficiency virus-2 (HIV-2) infection that developed squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the buccal mucosa. She was treated with radiotherapy 66 Gy in 30 fractions. HIV-2 infection was diagnosed with Tridot test, and quantitative estimation was done with polymerase chain reaction. Viral load is usually low in HIV-2 patients; similarly tempo of disease progression is also slow. Treatment of SCC of buccal mucosa with or without HIV infection is not different. Protease inhibitor-based anti-retroviral therapy is an appropriate treatment for HIV-2 infection.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
