Presence of Epstein–Barr virus, cytomegalovirus and human papillomavirus in normal oral mucosa of HIV‐infected and renal transplant patients

Abstract

EBV genome was significantly detected in clinically normal oral mucosa of renal transplant and HIV+ patients. A significant gender association was found among HIV+, suggesting that oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) is more likely to occur in HIV+ men than women.
