Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus-associated oral hairy leukoplakia (HLP) is characterized by coinfection with multiple types and strains of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and recombination within the EBV genome. HIV-seronegative immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients with HLP were examined to determine the pathogenic contribution of EBV coinfection and recombination to the development of HLP. Multiple coinfecting...
