Study Notes
Viral Infections of the Mouth: Summary
- Skin lesions consist of small, turbid vesicles, 1-50 in number, surrounded by a narrow red halo and are localized on the lateral and dorsal aspects of the fingers, toes, palms and soles
- Low grade fever and general symptoms may be present, and the disease lasts 5–8 days and resolves spontaneously without treatment
- Acute lymphonodular pharyngitis is an uncommon acute febrile disease caused by Coxsackie virus, A10, affecting children and young adults
- It presents with fever, mild headache, loss of appetite, and sore throat, followed by a characteristic non-vesicular eruption on the uvula, soft palate, and posterior pharynx
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a double-stranded DNA virus with over 200 genotypes, classified into dermatotropic and mucosotropic
- Multifocal epithelial hyperplasia is rare worldwide but common among Inuits, Indians, and Eskimos, and is more common in females, children, and adolescence
- It is caused by HPV genotypes 13 and 32 in 75-100% of patients, with other genotypes also detected
- Measles is highly infectious, with an incubation period of 8-12 days and prodromal signs including fever, cough, and coryza
- Mumps is transmitted through droplet spread and has an incubation period of 16-18 days, with prodromal symptoms of fever, malaise, and pain next to the jaw angle
- Rubella is transmitted through droplet spread, has an incubation period of 14-21 days, and presents with mild disease and prodromal symptoms of fever, headache, and sore throat
- Most common viral infections of the mouth are related to Herpes simplex 1, giving rise to short-term oral ulceration and systemic symptoms
- Herpes labialis is the most common viral infection in patients attending for dental care, and the majority of common viral infections of the mouth do not require specific anti-viral therapy
