Abstract
Four children with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and aphthous oral ulcers with severe odynophagia were treated with a short oral course of prednisone. The lesions resolved completely with no adverse effects. We recommend considering a short course of prednisone for relief of symptoms in these patients.
