Abstract EN
We present a case of primary oral tuberculosis that led to the diagnosis of HIV infection.
Our patient had clinically nonspecific ulcers on the labial mucosa and on the ventral surface of the tongue which were diagnosed as being tuberculous only on histological examination.
This raised the suspicion of HIV infection that was subsequently confirmed by blood tests.
The oral lesions resolved after 4 weeks of antituberculosis treatment.
Some aspects of the pathogenesis of HIV-tuberculosis coinfection are discussed.
