Study Notes

Overview of Oral Infections: Viral, Bacterial, and Fungal

Oral infections can be viral, bacterial, or fungal in nature.
Viral infections include herpes simplex virus (HSV), human papilloma virus (HPV), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
Primary HSV infection occurs for the first time and can occur anywhere in the mouth, while recurrent HSV infection occurs when the virus reactivates and manifests differently.
Varicella-zoster virus causes chickenpox (primary infection) and shingles (recurrent infection).
Coxsackievirus can cause hand, foot, and mouth disease, as well as herpangina.
Measles virus can cause Koplik spots in the mouth.
HPV can cause papillomas or warts on the tongue.
Bacterial infections are generally uncommon in the oral mucosa due to the protective effects of saliva.
Syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum and can have primary, secondary, and tertiary lesions.
Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can result in non-healing chronic ulcers in the mouth.
Gonorrhea can rarely cause oral pharyngitis.
Actinomycosis is a chronic and granulomatous bacterial infection that can affect the jaw or head and neck.
Fungal infections, such as candidiasis, can cause white or red lesions in the mouth and are commonly treated with antifungal medications.Locations and Types of Deep Fungal Infections
