Proliferative lesions were found on the squamous epithelium of the tongue, esophagus, or penis or haired skin of the lip, hand, or thorax of 8 simian immunodeficiency virus-infected rhesus monkeys that died of simian AIDS. The lesions were focal and consisted of hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, and acanthosis in the skin, with additional ballooning degeneration in the tongue, esophagus, and penis. The epithelial surfaces were frequently colonized by Candida species or gram-positive cocci. Intranuclear inclusion bodies were seen in cells in the middle and superficial layers. Herpesvirus virions were found in inclusion-bearing cells by transmission electron microscopy. An Epstein-Barr-like virus was identified in inclusion-bearing cells by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. No virus was detectable in basal layers of the epithelium. These lesions resemble oral hairy leukoplakia in AIDS patients and may thus provide a useful primate model to study permissive epithelial infection by Epstein-Barr-like viruses.

D009092 Mucous Membrane An EPITHELIUM with MUCUS-secreting cells, such as GOBLET CELLS. It forms the lining of many body cavities, such as the DIGESTIVE TRACT, the RESPIRATORY TRACT, and the reproductive tract. Mucosa, rich in blood and lymph vessels, comprises an inner epithelium, a middle layer (lamina propria) of loose CONNECTIVE TISSUE, and an outer layer (muscularis mucosae) of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS that separates the mucosa from submucosa.
