ABSTRACT
Objective To identify the characteristics oral fungus in HIV-infected patients with HAART in Kunming.Methods Oral mucosal swab samples were collected from 99 patients with HIV infection with or without HAART.The fungi were isolated and cultured,and were identified by using API 20 C AUX yeast identification system.Results The positive rate of oral Candida in was significantly higher in HIV-infected patients without HAART (53.3%) than those with HAART (20.4%) (x2=11.669,P<0.01).In 41 strains of isolated candida,C.albicans was the most prevalent (78.0%),followed by C parapsilosis (9.8%),C.glabrata (9.8%) and C tropicalis (2.4%).Conclusions HAART can decrease the positive rate of oral Candida in patients with HIV infection,but has little effect on asymptomatic HIV carrier.
