Abstract:
Although they are rare, oral ulcers caused by cytomegalovirus infection can occur in immunocompromised people, including those infected with HIV. Once recognized, however, oral CMV lesions can be successfully treated in most cases. Moreover, early recognition permits prompt evaluation for CMV retinitis or disseminated CMV infection, and may help prevent morbidity caused by CMV.
