1/60. herpes simplex-associated erythema multiforme (HAEM): a clinical therapeutic dilemma.erythema multiforme of the mouth is an acute vesiculo-ulcerative lesion, which presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the clinician. herpes simplex is described as the most frequent cause of this disease. Controversy exists in the literature as to the definition of oral erythema multiforme and the role of systemic corticosteroids in its treatment. Recent treatment protocols advocate the use of systemic acyclovir, especially in cases triggered by the herpes simplex virus. Two cases of successful treatment of oral erythema multiforme with systemic corticosteroids after acyclovir treatment had failed are presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = herpes simplex, simplex, herpes (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/60. Atypical herpes simplex can mimic a flare of disease activity in patients with pemphigus vulgaris.We present a 69-year-old white woman with pemphigus vulgaris limited to the oral mucosa who presented with oral pain and difficulty swallowing of 2 days duration, followed by multiple irregular ulcers arising from normal mucosa with no grouping of individual lesions--herpes simplex should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lesions that appear suddenly in patients with PV, particularly if the lesions fail to respond to an increased dose of corticosteroids.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.9222184828049keywords = herpes simplex, simplex, herpes (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/60. Mental nerve neuropathy as a result of primary herpes simplex virus infection in the oral cavity. A case report.We describe a 25-year-old woman who had mental nerve neuropathy. The symptom was attributed to herpes simplex virus infection, which appeared as herpetic gingivostomatitis 4 days after the extraction of the lower third molar. This case suggests that herpes simplex virus can infect the inferior alveolar nerve through an extraction wound and can induce mental nerve neuropathy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.5066621793659keywords = herpes simplex, simplex, herpes (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/60. Oral herpes simplex virus infection with cardiac transplantation.Oral herpes simplex virus infection is a common complication of cardiac transplantation. Lesions are secondary to reactivation of the virus, are atypical in appearance, and can involve any oral and perioral surface. diagnosis on clinical grounds is difficult and should be confirmed with laboratory testing. A case report and review of the literature are presented to support the features of this infection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.9222184828049keywords = herpes simplex, simplex, herpes (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/60. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis developed after acute herpetic gingivostomatitis.A child with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) developed after acute herpetic gingivostomatisis was described. Inspite of the improvement of his gingivostomatitis, his consciousness gradually deteriorated and he was admitted to Nakadori General Hospital. His consciousness level was drowsiness and increased bilateral patellar reflexes were shown. Because magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2-weighted scan showed areas of high signal intensity disseminated in superior portion of medulla oblongata, dorsal portion of pons, basal nuclei and thalamus, he was suspected as having ADEM. Anti-herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 IgG and IgM antibodies elevated in both blood and cerebrospinal fluid. From these results, HSV1 infection was thought to be the preceding infection of ADEM. methylprednisolone therapy (20 mg/kg daily) for 3 days, followed by prednisolone (2 mg/kg) was started, with an excellent response. In addition, administration of acyclovir was also continued, considering the complication of HSV encephalitis. MRI T2-weighted scan performed at 2 months later after the onset of ADEM revealed disappearance of the lesions. He was discharged without remaining disorders. It is difficult to distinguish between ADEM and HSV encephalitis because both of these diseases show various neurological symptoms. In our case, MRI was the most useful method for correct diagnosis of ADEM. We concluded that ADEM is important as a disease of central nervus system due to HSV1 infection, in addition to encephalitis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.58444369656099keywords = herpes simplex, simplex, herpes (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/60. Signs of medullar aplasia in the oral cavity: report of case.Medullar aplasia is a hematological disease characterized by medullar dysfunction that results in a marked decrease of various hematological cellular elements. This produces anemia, infections of different etiologies and also, spontaneous or provoked hemorrhagic syndromes of varying importance. A case of medullar aplasia affecting a child, diagnosed after a tooth extraction is reported, and accompanied by its pathological characteristics. In addition, an easy reading E.L.I.S.A/ test for diagnosing herpes virus type 1 or 2 is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.033218728974436keywords = herpes (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/60. erythema multiforme secondary to herpes simplex infection: a case report.BACKGROUND: erythema multiforme (EM) is a complex disease that may have cutaneous and/or mucosal involvement. The severity may range from mild to severe and potentially life threatening. The literature cites many factors including viruses, infections, and medications as causes. This report documents a patient who developed EM secondary to a herpes simplex viral (HSV) infection. methods: Two weeks following an eruption of herpes labialis, a 20-year-old white female patient developed acutely painful oral and labial ulcers accompanied by target skin lesions. A diagnosis of erythema multiforme (EM) was made. The patient was treated with antivirals, analgesics, and symptomatic therapy. RESULTS: Nine days after the onset of symptoms, the oral and cutaneous lesions had started to heal and the patient no longer required pain medication. CONCLUSIONS: Although the etiology of EM is still often unknown, infections with herpes simplex virus have been implicated as a possible precipitating factor. This case illustrates the association of the occurrence of EM with an HSV infection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.5398809083404keywords = herpes simplex, simplex, herpes (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/60. Transverse myelitis associated with herpes simplex virus infection.The case of an otherwise healthy 6-year-old boy with symptoms and signs of acute transverse myelitis is presented. The diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. An episode of gingivostomatitis had preceded, and serology indicated herpes simplex virus type 1 infection. The child recovered gradually, and no relapses were noted during a 30-month follow-up period.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.9222184828049keywords = herpes simplex, simplex, herpes (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/60. Viral etiology of gingival recession. A case report.herpes simplex virus-type I (HSV-1) is responsible for both primary and recurrent infections of the oral mucosa. The aim of this case report is to show how HSV-1 may cause periodontal damage such as gingival recession. A 26-year-old male patient presented in a private office for the treatment of gingival recessions. He reported that the recessions had appeared suddenly with marginal inflammation of the gingiva and vesicle formation; within a few hours, the gingival tissue had been completely destroyed. The lesions were accompanied by pain, fever, and regional lymphadenopathy. Two weeks later, the patient returned complaining of a recurrence accompanied by pain and lymphadenopathy. The following day, the patient's condition had worsened and the depth of the recession had increased. A biopsy was taken for histological examination. A free epithelial-connective tissue graft was performed. Histological and direct immunofluorescence examinations confirmed the herpetic origin of the lesion. Eight months after surgery, a new herpetic lesion was detected in correspondence to the gingival margin of the first lower right premolar; therefore, acyclovir was prescribed. After 1 week, the antiviral therapy was completely successful; the gingival lesion disappeared, and no recession of the soft tissue margin was observed. Based on these clinical features, diagnosis of gingival recession induced by HSV-1 must be carried out at an early stage to establish a successful therapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.083111260687802keywords = simplex (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/60. Differential diagnosis: is it herpes or aphthous?Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) and recurrent intraoral herpes (RIH) are the two most commonly presenting oral lesions in the dental setting. It is critical that the oral health professional be able to accurately discriminate between these disorders. To facilitate the differential diagnosis between RAS and RIH, important components of assessment are discussed. These include: prodromal signs and symptoms, lesion location, and appearance of the initial and mature lesion. The comparative etiology, prevalence, pathogenesis, and treatment considerations for these lesions are presented. A familial case report is provided.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16609364487218keywords = herpes (Clic here for more details about this article) |
