Oral hairy leukoplakia is caused by

  1. HBV

  2. HPV

  3. HCV

  4. EBV

The correct answer is: EBV

Oral hairy leukoplakia is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This virus infects the epithelial cells of the oral mucosa, resulting in the characteristic white, corrugated lesion seen in oral hairy leukoplakia. HBV (Hepatitis B virus), HPV (Human Papillomavirus), and HCV (Hepatitis C virus) are not associated with the development of oral hairy leukoplakia.
