Abstract
Introduction: Idiopathic CD4+ lymphocytopenia (ICL) is very rare medical syndrome in which CD4+ T lymphocyte count is decreased. It is sometimes characterized as HIV negative AIDS. People with ICL have weakened immune system and susceptible to opportunistic infections. We are reporting this case because we have found palatal fistula in patient with ICL. This case report illustrates the difficulty in diagnosing a rare condition with non-specific clinical manifestations.
