Abstract

Abstract: Abstract: Patients with HIV have an increased risk of human papilloma virus (HPV) disease that is related to the degree of immunosuppression. Anogenital, cutaneous, and oral warts are the more common HPV-related symptoms that affect patients with HIV. Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), a disease caused by HPV, has been well described in children and adults. However, to our knowledge, there are no other cases in the English language literature describing RRP after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in patients with HIV. We present a case of aggressive RRP in a patient with HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy. Clinicians should be aware of RRP as a potential cause of airway symptoms in patients with HIV as their immune system reconstitutes.
