HIV infection was documented in a patient with hairy leukoplakia and oral candidiasis who had the wrong referral diagnosis of sore throat in the absence of dental complaints. Dental treatment at an infectious hospital led to regression of oral mucosa lesions, but failed to arrest the progress of severe pneumonia presumably caused by a specific pathogen.
