Hand-Foot-And-Mouth Disease Erythema Multiforme 108 Vesiculobullous Lesions Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease Definition Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is an acute self-limiting con- tagious viral infection transmitted from one individual to another. Etiology Coxsackievirus A16, and rarely other strains. Clinical features The disease usually affects children and young adults, and often occurs in epidemics. Oral manifestations are always present, and are characterized by small vesicles (5–30 in number) that rapidly rupture, leaving painful, shallow ulcers (2–6 mm in diameter) sur- rounded by a red halo (Fig.107). The buccal mucosa, tongue, and labial mucosa are the most commonly affected sites. Skin lesions are not constant, and present as small vesicles with a narrow red halo. The lateral borders and the dorsal surfaces of the fingers and toes are the most common areas involved. Lesions may appear on the palms, soles, and buttocks. The disease lasts five to eight days. The diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical criteria. Differential diagnosis Aphthous ulcers, herpes simplex infection, herpangina. Treatment Supportive. Erythema Multiforme Definition Erythema multiforme is an acute or subacute self-limiting disease that involves the skin and mucous membranes. Etiology The etiology is unclear. However, an immunologically medi- ated process triggered by herpes simplex or Mycoplasma pneumoniae, drugs, radiation, or malignancies, is probable. Clinical features The disease more frequently affects young men Be- tween the ages of 20 and 30 years. The oral lesions present as coalescing small vesicles that rupture within two or three days, leaving irregular, painful erosions covered by a necrotic pseudomembrane (Fig.108). The lips, buccal mucosa, tongue, soft palate, and floor of the mouth are most commonly involved. The skin manifestations consist of erythematous, flat, round macules, papules, or plaques, usually in a symmetrical pat- Laskaris, Pocket Atlas of Oral Diseases © 2006 Thieme All rights reserved.

Stafford This blog post/website is available at e-Publications@Marquette: https://epublications.marquette.edu/dentistry_fac/252 Overview Background Oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) is a disease of the mucosa first described in 1984. This pathology is associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and occurs mostly in people with HIV infection, both immunocompromised and immunocompetent, and can affect patients who are HIV negative.{ref1}{ref2} The first case in an HIV-negative patient was reported in 1999 in a 56-year-old patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Later, many cases were reported in heart, kidney, and bone marrow transplant recipients and patients with hematological malignancies.{ref3}{ref4} Pathophysiology The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a ubiquitous herpesvirus estimated to infect 90% of the world's population, is linked to a growing number of diseases, especially in immunocompromised hosts. Like all herpesviruses, EBV establishes a life-long, persistent infection of its host. The pathogenesis of hairy leukoplakia is clearly complex, potentially requiring a convergence of factors including EBV co-infection, productive EBV replication, EBV genetic evolution, expression of specific EBV "latent" genes, and immune escape.

    Symptoms and Signs of Herpes Simplex Virus What to Do—HERPES! Provider’s Guide for Uncommon Suspected Sexual Abuse Scenarios Ann S. Botash, MD Background Herpes can present in any of several ways: • herpetic gingivostomatitis • herpetic whitlow, • herpes labialis • herpes gladiotorum • genital herpes • herpes encephalitis • herpetic keratoconjuctivitis • eczema herpeticum The differential diagnosis of ulcerative lesions in the genital area is broad. Infectious causes: • chancroid • syphilis, • genital HSV infection • scabies, • granuloma inguinale (donovanosis) • CMV or EBV • candida, • varicella or herpes zoster virus (VZV) • lymphogranuloma venereum Non-infectious causes: • lichen planus • Behçet syndrome • trauma History Symptoms Skin lesions are typically preceded by prodromal symptoms: • burning and paresthesia at the •malaise site •myalgia • lymphadenopathy •loss of appetite • fever •headaches Exposure history Identify anyone with any of the various presentations of genital or extra- genital ulcers. Determine if there has been a recurrence. Determine if there are any risk factors for infection: • eczematous skin conditions • immunocompromised state of patient and/or alleged perpetrator. Rule out autoinoculation or consensual transmission. Physical Cutaneous lesions consist of small, monomorphous vesicles on an erythematous base that rupture into painful, shallow, gray erosions or ulcerations with or without crusting. Clinical diagnosis of genital herpes is not very sensitive or specific. Obtain laboratory cultures for a definitive diagnosis. Lab Tests Viral culture (gold standard)—preferred test • Must be from active lesions. • Vigorously swab unroofed lesion and inoculate into a prepared cell culture. Antigen detection • Order typing of genital lesions in children. • DFA distinguishes between HSV1 & 2, EIA does not. Cytologic detection • Tzanck Prep is insensitive (50%) and non-specific. • PCR testing is sensitive and specific but the role in the diagnosis of genital ulcers is unclear.

  • Facia-Pain Article 11-28-16
    ARTICLE: Facial Pain—Several Disorders This week we are going to discuss a few types of disorders which cause facial pain, that is to say pain in the fact. The first and most common type of facial pain disorder is trigeminal neuralgia, an irritation of the trigeminal nerve or fifth cranial nerve which innervates the face. The ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve through the eyes, forehead and nose. The maxillary branch runs through the upper teeth, gums, lips, cheek, lower eyelids, side of the nose. The mandibular branch runs through the lower teeth, gums and lips, and also controls jaw movement for chewing. When patients experience trigeminal neuralgia is most often found to occur in the maxillary and mandibular branch of the fifth cranial nerve. This very painful condition is often described as shocking, jolting or electrical and can be also described as “the most painful condition known in the face”. The patients who suffer from trigeminal neuralgia are often between the ages of 50 and 70 although younger people can be affected. It can be quite debilitating and is treatable in some patients with medications as well as a new innovation called the “gamma knife”. Patients suffering from trigeminal neuralgia will often be undiagnosed for some time before obtaining a diagnosis. Another type of facial pain suffer from is TMJ disorder. TMJ disorder or temporomandibular joint disorder is a locking, clicking or popping and/or spasm of the joint and muscle surrounding the temporomandibular joint. This painful condition can be worsened with chewing and is often particularly related to posture as well s occlusal of the bite of the teeth.

Significantly higher titers to HSV-1 were found in contrQJs who smoked than in controls who did not smoke. Patients with untreated oral cancer had HSV-1 neutralizing titers siQI~Iar to those of the controls who smqked, but those with later stage tumors bad higher titers tha!l those with earlier stage tumors.

The clinical presentation can be similar to 300, Park Ridge, IL 60068, USA other causes of oral ulceration such as Herpes Simplex Virus. As a result, clear indications of each must be diagnosed appropriately. I report a case of a 28-year-old female with oro-genital aphthous stomatitis misdiagnosed with Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2. The appropriate workup and treatments for aphthous stomatitis are discussed. Keywords: Aphthous stomatitis, herpes simplex virus Introduction Aphthous stomatitis affects anywhere from approximately 1 to 60% of the general population [1]. Although the etiology of aphthous stomatitis is not yet known, there are several triggers that influence the presentation of these ulcers. Factors such as stress, hormones, food, vitamin deficiencies such as folic acid, vitamin B12, iron and traumatic injury to the mucosa are [2] associated with aphthous stomatitis . Systemic syndromes such as Behcet’s disease, periodic syndrome with pharyngitis and fever, neutropenia, Crohn’s disease and Mouth and Genital Ulcers with Inflamed Cartilage (MAGIC Syndrome) feature aphthous stomatitis as a symptom [3]. The ulcers are shallow and painful with an erythematous border and a gray to yellow base.
