ABSTRACT
A case of a 9-year-old boy with AIDS and severe hairy leukoplakia on the tongue is reported. Clinically it appears as a bilateral whitish-grey, nonremovable lesion on the lateral margins of the tongue with characteristic vertical corrugations. The lesion failed to respond to topical and systemic antifungal treatment. In contrast, it completely disappeared after treatment with 600 mg acyclovir per day for 1 month. During the hairy leukoplakia development the CD4-lymphocytes count was 95/microL.
