Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are a major cause of oral lesions, and in individuals living with HIV, lesions such as focal epithelial hyperplasia (FEH) may persist or exhibit atypical features, potentially progressing to more severe conditions if untreated. Managing oral HPV lesions in immunocompromised patients is challenging, as conventional therapies may carry higher risks or show limited efficacy.
METHODS: This study reports the case of a 49-year-old HIV-positive male with valve disease and arthritis, requiring crutches for mobility. He presented with multiple painless oral lesions, diagnosed as FEH associated with oral HPV, and had previously undergone unsuccessful treatments. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using methylene blue (MB) and a red laser was proposed as a treatment.
RESULTS: Topical MB-mediated PDT successfully cleared the FEH lesions, with no recurrence observed over 24 months.
CONCLUSION: PDT mediated by MB is an effective and affordable approach for treating FEH associated with HPV in immunosuppressed patients, offering favorable outcomes and improved quality of life.
