Abstract: A review of 54 cases of AIDS established the ORL manifestations of this constantly fatal disease. Simple infections such as sinusitis, otitis and tonsillitis were frequent and quite typical, but buccopharyngeal herpes and particularly buccopharyngo-esophageal candidosis were widespread affections. The onset of candidosis in a subject at risk is a valid diagnostic factor for AIDS. A buccopharyngeal Kaposi tumor is specific and is usually associated with lesions in other, particularly cutaneous localizations. Marked emphasis is placed on the role of specialists in the detection of this disease, currently increasing at a high rate. In the USA, where AIDS is very prevalent and doctors very clearly informed, 40% of cases are detected from cervicofacial manifestations.
