    Study Notes

    Clinical Features of Herpangina

    • Lesions start as erythematous macules but rapidly progress to grey vesicles with erythematous base
    • May also appear on trunk, thighs, buttocks, and genitalia
    • Lesions are usually asymptomatic but can be itchy or painful
    • Mild pyrexia, sore throat, headache, and dysphagia may occur

    Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease

    • Caused by Coxsackie virus (usually A16, rarely type 5 and 10)
    • Transmitted by droplet infection
    • Incubation period: 10-14 days

    Lesions and Ulceration

    • Ulceration is defined as a break in the continuity of an epithelial lining
    • Iron deficiency is a significant etiology in angular cheilitis
    • Without denture, it is more likely to be caused by infection with Streptococcus or Staphylococcus species
    • Treatment should be commenced with azole's, unless the classic golden crust associated with S. aureus is present

    Median Rhomboid Glossitis

    • Seen in patients using inhaled steroids and smokers
    • Lesions are in the center of the dorsum of the tongue and palate (kissing lesion)
    • Lozenge-shaped erythematous patch on the midline dorsal tongue
    • H/P epithelial hyperplasia with neutrophils in the parakeratin layer

    Vesiculobullous Lesions

    • Anagina Bullosa Haemorrhagica: recurrent blood blisters in oral mucosa, most commonly seen in posterior hard and soft palate
    • Blisters rupture to leave a superficial ulcer, which is entirely self-limiting

    White Lesions

    • White lesions are white due to hyperplasia of epithelium and loss of normal vascularity
    • Examples include candidosis, hairy leukoplakia, condyloma acuminata, papilloma, and syphilitic leukoplakia

    Pigmented Lesions

    • Necrotic granulomatous reaction affecting palate or tongue, perforation of palate
    • Can be extrinsic or intrinsic
    • Extrinsic pigmentation is usually recognized and common causes are regular CHX rinsing
