- Title

- Abstract
Necrotizing gingivitis (NG), necrotizing periodontitis (NP) and necrotizing stomatitis (NS) are well documented oral diseases associated with HIV infection, and might represent a spectrum of clinical manifestations of a single infectious process. While NG is a relatively common periodontal disease mainly observed in early HIV infection, NS is less common, and is usually associated with a well-established HIV infection and deterioration in the immune status. However, all three conditions may arise in non-HIV affected individuals. A case is presented of NS occurring simultaneously with NG, but not on contiguous areas, leading to the diagnosis of HIV infection in a patient unaware of her HIV status, and the literature of NG and NS is reviewed.
