Human immunodeficiency virus salivary gland disease (abbreviated to HIV-SGD, [1] and also termed HIV-associated salivary gland disease), [2] is swelling of the salivary glands and/or xerostomia in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus.
- Gradual enlargement of the major salivary glands, particularly the parotid glands. [3] This swelling may be on one side or both sides, may cause disfigurement and may be painful. [2]
- Xerostomia (dry mouth) with no other cause such as a side effect of medications. [2]
HIV-SGD may be the presenting sign of HIV infection. [3] There may also be xerophthalmia (dry eyes) and arthralgia (joint pain), similar to Sjögren syndrome. [3]
HIV-SGD is more prevalent in HIV positive children than HIV positive adults, [4] at about 19% and 1% respectively. [1] Unlike other oral manifestations of HIV/AIDS such as Kaposi sarcoma, oral hairy leukoplakia and oral candidiasis, which decreased following the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), HIV-SGD has increased.
