Abstract

One of the first signs of disease of most children infected with VIH is oral. Salivary flow can be affected by different situations, such us VIH infection and some antirretroviral medication. Objetivs: The purpose of this study was to determine salivary flow in uruguayan children infected with VIH who attend to the Centro Nacional de Referencia VIH-SIDA del Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell, (CHPR) in Montevideo, Uruguay. Materials and methods: A cuantitative analitic descriptive, case control study was performed. All patients attending VIH Service at the CHPR were included, and the control group were children who asked for treatment at the same Hospital, but were not infected with VIH. The salivary flow count up was done. Children of the study group were divided into two groups, according to their adherence about the antirretroviral treatment, qualified in good or bad. There was also registered other parameters such us parotid’s hypertrophy and caries activity. Results: There was found a significant difference between the groups related to the salivary flow (p=0,0002), independent of adherence to antirretroviral therapy.
