Understanding the Causes and Risk Factors of Hairy Leukoplakia

Hairy leukoplakia, identified by the ICD-11 code DA01.01, is primarily caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This condition most commonly affects individuals with a weakened immune system. It is particularly prevalent in people infected with HIV, where it can be a sign of immune system compromise. However, it can also occur in other immunosuppressed individuals, such as those who have undergone organ transplantation or are undergoing treatment for cancer, or are taking certain medications like systemic or inhaled steroids. Risk factors include having HIV, especially if the infection is advanced, and smoking, which can increase the likelihood of developing hairy leukoplakia in individuals with HIV.
