Abstract

Objective. To investigate the use of shock-wave lithotripsy in the treatment of salivary gland disease in HIV-positive patients. Study design. Four patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus with ultrasonographically confirmed sialolithiasis (three male patients, mean age 33.5 years, range 19-41 years) were treated with extracorporeal electromagnetic shock-wave lithotripsy. Results. All but one of the patients were successfully treated or experienced relief, with complete stone clearance demonstrated by ultrasonography 12 months after lithotripsy. Conclusion. Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy is a safe, effective and minimally invasive technique for the nonsurgical treatment of HIV-positive patients with sialolithiasis.
