fa Associations of periodontitis and oral manifestations with CD4 counts in human immunodeficiency virus-pregnant women in Thailand بیماری های دهان Oral Medicine پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Objectives</strong></p><p>  To investigate the associations of CD4 count with chronic periodontitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related oral lesions in pregnant HIV-infected Thai women. </p><p> <strong>Study design</strong></p><p>  Two hundred ninety-two HIV-infected pregnant women were interviewed for health information and examined for their periodontal condition and HIV-related oral lesions during weeks 16-34 of gestation. Logistic regression, t tests and Chi-squared tests were used to examine the associations of CD4 count with oral lesions and periodontal conditions. </p><p> <strong>Results</strong></p><p> <strong> </strong>One hundred thirty-three women (45.6%) had at least 1 tooth with a periodontal pocket over 4 mm. Thirty-eight (17.76%) subjects had oral candidiasis and 53 subjects (24.77%) had oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL). Low CD4 count was significantly associated with periodontitis at odds ratio (OR) = 2.06 with 95% confidence interval (CI) = [1.00-4.27], P = .05. A significant association was found for low CD4 count with OHL with OR = 3.57, 95% CI = [1.34-9.46], P = .01. </p><p> <strong>Conclusions</strong> </p><p> Chronic periodontitis and OHL were associated with CD4 count lower than 200 cells/mm3 in HIV-infected women. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology </p><p> <a href="http://www.oooojournal.net/article/S2212-4403(13)00220-4/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1703&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Pakkaporn Pattrapornnan 10031947532846008006 10031947532846008006 Yes Faculty of Dentistry, Thammasat University, Pathumthani, Thailand Timothy A.DeRoun 10031947532846008007 10031947532846008007 No Oral Health Sciences, Biostatistics, and Global Health, School of Dentistry, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA
