Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using acidophilus to treat oral candidiasis (thrush) caused by radiation therapy to the head and neck region. This study will conducted in two parts. In the first part of the study, two participants will begin radiation therapy.

The Effect of Oral Candidiasis on the Speech Production, Feeding Skills, and Self-Concept of Children and Adolescents With Symptomatic HIV Infection
Description

The main objectives of this study are: 1) to determine whether various levels of severity of oral candidiasis (thrush) in the child are associated with different levels of speech production, feeding skills, and self-concept, and 2) to assess the effect of the reduction of oral thrush over time on the speech function, feeding skills, and self-concept in HIV-infected patients who already are receiving various antifungal medications for treatment of their thrush (Note: Decisions regarding antifungal therapy are made completely independent from this study). Children with HIV disease, ages 6-21 years, who have oral thrush are eligible to paricipate in the study. The child and his/her parent will be asked to complete a variety of measures at specific time intervals over approximately one month during visits to the National Institutes of Health for treatment on other protocols. First, a nurse will rate the location and severity of thrush in the child's mouth. Then the parent will complete questionnaires assessing the effect of oral thrush on the child's feeding and speech skills and everyday functioning. Finally, the child will be administered a brief speech and oral-motor evaluation and will complete some questionnaires about how the thrush affects his/her day-to-day activities and self-concept. The results of this study may help to better understand the cause of expressive language deficits observed in some children with HIV infection. More specifically, it will determine if any speech and feeding problems of HIV-infected children are associated with oral thrush. Learning more about the impact of oral thrush on the speech, feeding, and the self-concept of children with HIV disease may be used for parent and patient education and to develop rehabilitative recommendations to benefit HIV-infected patients with oral thrush.

A Study to Compare the Use of Fluconazole as Continuous Therapy Versus Periodic Therapy in HIV-Positive Patients With Recurrent Thrush
Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is better to treat patients with fluconazole on a continuous basis to prevent thrush (yeast infection in the mouth) from coming back or to wait and treat each episode of thrush. Fluconazole is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs to treat thrush and other yeast infections. However, the number of patients with fluconazole-resistant thrush is increasing, and it is not known whether continuous or intermittent use of fluconazole leads to greater resistance. Therefore, it is important to determine the most effective treatment strategy.
