Allergies/Immunologic Flashcards
_ aphthae (recurrent aphthous stomatitis)- 3mm ulcer with yellow-white membrane and erythematous halo; unattached mucosa
minor
_ aphthae (recurrent aphthous stomatitis) - larger (up to 3cm) and longer duration (2-6 weeks); may heal with scar; HIV
major
_ aphthae- numerous, small lesions; predominantly non-keratinized mucusa
herpetiform
Combination of oral aphthous-like ulcerations, and ocular inflammation (anterior and posterior uveitis); probably an immunogenic process with a strong association to certain HLA types
Behcet’s Syndrome
Oral ulcerations of _: aphthous-like ulcerations located primarily on soft palate and oropharynx
Behcet’s Syndrome
cutaneous lesions of _: erythema nodosum, papulopustular lesions, acneform lesions
Behcet’s syndrome
Behcet’s syndrome- histo similar to aphthous with leukocytoclastic vasculitis
Behcet’s
F>M, blacks>whites, typically occurs during the 3rd and 4th decades; dyspnea, dry cough; fever, malaise; fatigue, arthralgia; lymphadenopathy
sarcoidosis
skin lesions of _: lupus pernio and erythema nodosum
sarcoidosis
_ of sarcoidosis: parotid enlargement, anterior uveitis, facial paralysis, fever
Heerfordt’s syndrome
_ of sarcoidosis: arthralgia, bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, erythema nodosum
lofgren’s syndrome
_ of sarcoidosis: langhans’ or foreign body giant cells; schaumann bodies; asteroid bodies
granulomatous inflammation
Highly variable presentation; involvement of lips- cheilitis granulomatosa
orofacial granulomatosis
_ of orofacial granulomatosis: non-tender swelling, usually involving lips; Bell’s palsy; fissured tongue
Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome
_ granulomas may be sparse in orofacial granulomatosis
non-necrotizing
Necrotizing granulomatous process; classically affects upper airway, lungs, kidneys; epistaxis, pain, nasal obstruction
Wegener’s granulomatosis
multisystemic vasculitis of small arteries and veins; occasionally involves the eyes, ears and skin
wegener’s
oral lesions of _: large, chronic ulcers and “strawberry gums”
wegener’s
may present with systemic signs or symptoms; multiple ones of erythema or aphthous-like eruptions
anaphylactic stomatitis
localized erythema and edema; vesiculoerosive lesions
fixed drug reaction
_ allergic contact stomatitis- burning, erythema, occasional vesicles
acute
_ allergic contact stomatitis- erythematous or white, may extend beyond the oral cavity
chronic
_ reaction more generalized (stomatitis from artificial cinnamon): pain, burning, erythema; frequently will affect the gingiva; may extend to perioral tissue
toothpaste
_ (cinnamon flavoring) often localized to the buccal mucosa or lateral borders of the tongue: ragged hyperkeratosis; erythematous base
gum, candy
