CASE 4 54 yo man HIV negative • In serodiscordant relationship with untreated HIV positive man…ongoing frequent unprotected sex
CASE 4 January 2010 • Found to have enlarging rttonsillar lesion similar to oral hairy leukoplakia despite remaining HIV negative Cause?...What would you do?
CASE 4 • Biopsy reveals HPV related squamous cell cancer! • treated with chemo and radiotherapy ending in September 2010
CASE 4 Cause?...What would you do?
CASE 4 • Idiopathic CD4 T lymphocytopenia? • HIV with occult strain with negative conventional test? • Other immune disorder? • Not likely due to persistent leukopenia due to chemo or radiotherapy
CASE 4 • Blood to be sent to NIHfor specialized HIV testing…ie PBMC culture/DNA testing • Also will look at CD8 activation markers and B cell immunity • TMP/SMX initiated for PCP prophylaxis
CASE 4 • It is intriguing to ascribe HPV related cancer in part due to worsening immune deficiency over time…ie an opportunistic malignancy???
