  • Title: Regression of oral hairy leukoplakia during zidovudine therapy.
    Author: Kessler HA, Benson CA, Urbanski P.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1988 Nov; 148(11):2496-7. PubMed ID: 3190382.
    Abstract:
    We describe two patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection and oral hairy leukoplakia whose tongue lesions resolved on oral zidovudine therapy. During therapy, each patient had a measurable reduction in human immunodeficiency virus antigen corresponding with clinical regression of oral lesions. The clinical course suggests that zidovudine may have contributed to the resolution of these lesions either indirectly through immunologic improvement or through an antiviral effect.
