The prevalence of hairy leukoplakia was determined among 176 symptomatic HIV seropositive patients seen at the outpatient department of the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium. Moreover, systematic tongue biopsies were performed during postmortem examination of 21 patients with AIDS, 100 HIV seronegative immunocompromised patients with haematologic or other malignancies and 100 HIV seronegative non-immunocompromised patients who died at the University Hospital Antwerp. Hairy leukoplakia was observed in 52 (29.5%) of the outpatients, but only in one (5%) of the AIDS patients in the postmortem study (P = 0.03). An explanation for this difference may be that significantly more AIDS patients who died had received either acyclovir or ganciclovir during the 3 months prior to the postmortem examination than the HIV seropositive outpatients during the 3 months prior to examination. Hairy leukoplakia occurred more often in Caucasian homosexual men with HIV infection (38%) than among heterosexual Africans with HIV infection (17%) (P = 0.06). Hairy leukoplakia was observed in none of the HIV seronegative patients.
