➢ gingiva and oral cavity
gingivo (=gingiva or fixed keratinized mucosa)
+
stoma (= the movable part of the oral cavity where the CT is
looser, including the labial and buccal mucosa, and the
tongue).

Recurrent infection
two manifestations:
- Herpes labialis: occurs on the vermillion border
-
Intra‐oral herpes: occurs ONLY on the fixed keratinized
mucosa (mucosa that doesn’t move around) MEMORIZE
THIS
What does it mean if a person has a primary infection?
They don’t have antibodies
Who’s the typical group that will get primary herpetic gingivostomatitis?
Children and young patients

Ulcer with an erythematous halo (top two arrows). We
also have ulcerations that are irregular in shape on the gingiva
(bottom two arrows).
❏ Clinical Features:
- Cervical lymphadenopathy
- Chills
- Fever
- Nausea
- Anorexia
- Irritability
- Sores in mouth
- Ulcerations on fixed and movable mucosa
- Variable number of lesions
- Ulcers coalesce and form larger irregular ulcerations

- Resolution in 5‐7 days
What is this infectious diseease?
What is its pathogensis ?
HSV‐1: Primary
Infection
pathogensis
❏ Usually young age
❏ Often asymptomatic
❏ Symptomatic = Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis
❏ In adults is usually pharyngotonsillitis (back of throat)
❏ Spread through infected saliva or active lesions
❏ Incubation period = 3‐9 days
These photos represent
gingivostomatitis
multiple irregularly shaped
ulcers present on the fixed and movable mucosa, bilaterally
What is this infectious disease?
What probably this patient also have?
HSV1: primary herpetic gingivostomatitis
there are multiple irregularly shaped
ulcers present on the fixed and movable mucosa –> most likely
diagnosis is primary herpetic gingivostomatitis since the patient has
fever and malaise.
How is Primary HSV
(Herpes Simplex) diagnosed?
❏ Clinical diagnosis → based on putting all the features together
❏ Culture (may take 2 weeks) → not worth it
❏ Tissue biopsy → very invasive
❏ Cytologic smear (less invasive)
○ easiest bc you take a popsicle stick to scrape an ulceration
then you put those cells on a slide, you send it to a
pathologist after fixing the cells with some alcohol then you
can see the virally‐altered cells
❏ Serologic testing→ to look for antibodies 4‐8 days after they were
exposed.
HSV‐ Histopathology
❏ Molding
❏ Margination
❏ Multinucleation
❏ Also Tzanck cells

(PAP)
How to interpere HSV‐ Laboratory
Results based on IGg and IGm a
If you have positive IgM and negative IgG → that means it’s an acute
recent infection.
Then you have to wait 4‐6 weeks
If you do the serology then and get positive IgG and negative IgM → that means the person has the established infection.
What is the treatment of Primary Herpetic
Gingivostomatitis ?
- ❏ Supportive/Palliative Treatment
- ❏ Fluids, nutrition, rest, avoid spreading to others
- ❏ Avoid touching eyes, genitals
- ❏ Possible referral to MD if infant is not drinking because of pain
- ❏ Medications:
- Topical anesthetic (OTC vs Rx)
- Mucosal coating (OTC)
- Analgesic (OTC vs Rx)
- Antiviral (Rx)
What are the medications used to treat Primary HSV?
❏ OTC Magic Mouthwash Formulation: helps the person to actually be able to eat bc they have so many ulcerations
○ 1 Part‐ Diphenhydramine/ Benadryl (anticholinergic)
12.5mg/5mL elixir
○ 1 Part‐ Lidocaine (topical anesthetic)
○ 1 Part‐ Magnesium hydroxide/ Maalox (mucosal coating

out
❏ Rx‐Topical Anesthetic
○ Lidocaine 2% viscous solution* (viscous lidocaine)
○ Disp: 100mL bottle
○ Label: Rinse with 10 mL for 2 minutes and spit out
*May diminish the gag reflex therefore better suited for older
patients‐ shouldn’t be prescribed to kids. Remember serious sideeffects of seizures and methemoglobinemia in pediatric population.
❏ OTC Analgesic
○ Acetaminophen (Tylenol) OR ibuprofen (NSAID)
suspension/ tablets as directed for body weight
❏ Rx Antivirals

HSV-1 RECURRENT INFECTION
- §Secondary herpes
- §Mild, self-limiting
- §Vermilion border
- §Intraorally on fixed keratinized mucosa
- §7-10 days

- § Prevalence‐15‐45%
- 90% of adults have the antibodies, but 15‐45% of them can get recurrent herpes. Most of us have the antibodies, but we never exhibited the primary infection or a recurrent infection*.
- § 1‐6 outbreaks a year
Reccurent HSV-1 Latency place is ——–
trigeminal ganglion
What are the Stages of recurrent Hsv-1?
Prodrome►papules►vesicles►ulcer►crust►heals►no scar

How to diagnose Recurrent HSV?
❏ Clinical‐ if you see punctate ulcers unilaterally on the palate, it is
usually recurrent herpes simplex.
❏ Culture (may take 2 weeks) ‐ takes too long
❏ Tissue biopsy‐ if it wasn’t typical
❏ Cytologic smear‐ the ideal way if you want a definitive diagnosis
What is the Treatment Recurrent HSV-1?
❏ Depends on severity/frequency
❏ Preventive/suppressive vs episodic/abortive strategies
Two types of treatment:
Preventive/Suppressive: taking antivirals everyday to prevent an outbreak
Episodic: taking antivirals here and there to abort the process; episodic: abortive.
❏ Drugs used:
❏ Antiviral agents
❏ Antiviral‐steroid combination agents
❏ Avoid precipitating factors, like use sunscreens – avoid any triggers
e At which stage should the
abortive/ episodic treatment be done to avoid the outbreak?
❏ the prodrome, prodrome treatment is abortive
**remember this!**
RECURRENT HERPES LABIALIS-RX TOPICAL/SYSTEMIC AGENTS
Topical like Acyclovir
or Acylovir + steroid combination
There are many OTC topical medications
suppressive or preventative therapy of Recurrent HSV-1
: taking antivirals everyday to prevent those 6 outbreak/year.
There is modest evidence
that systemic acyclovir or
valacyclovir prevents
recurrent herpes labialis
these drugs tend to only affect virally‐altered cells. They don’t
affect the mammalian cells; they’re very safe.
Episodic/ Abortive
therapy of reccurent HSV1
❏ Episodic‐Occurring, appearing, or changing at usually irregular
intervals
❏ Abortive‐Tending to cut short the course of a disease
○ Medication has to be taken during Prodrome
○ When the patient feels a burning, itching, and tingling

and crusted ulcerations on the
lip
❏ need to prescribe :antiviral prophylaxis
HHV3
What is it’s primary infection and Secondary infection known as?
❏ Primary infection
○ Varicella/ Chicken pox
❏ Secondary infection
○ Zoster/ Shingles
○ May affect oral cavity/ face if reactivation
along distribution of V1/2/3
What is this infectious disease?
describe it
HHV3
Varicella (chickenpox)
It is caused by
Varicella Zoster
Virus Infection
a typical macular, papular, vesicular rash –
it’s bilateral
What is this infectious disease?
Herpes Zoster/
Shingles
- It is affecting the intraoral region
- and the maxillary branch.
- Picture on the far right looks like recurrent HSV (cluster of coalescing ulcers)
- Looking at the picture on the left you can determine it is NOT a recurrent intraoral herpes because we have vesicles that opened up and crusted over on the skin.
VZV histopathology is the same as HSV.
VZV remains latent in the
dorsal root ganglion
travels down the sensory nerves to skin upon reactivation.
❏ The reactivation presents as a painful rash in one or two adjacent
dermatomes that does not cross the midline.
❏ The rash is maculopapular and develops into vesicles.
❏ One complication of zoster is post‐herpetic neuralgia: pain that
persists in the area where the rash once was present.
HHV‐4
Latency?
and
What are the EBV inducded diseases?
Epstein‐Barr Virus
Infection
Latency in lymphocytes
§Infectious mononucleosis
§Oral hairy leukoplakia
§Nasopharyngeal carcinoma
§EBV mucocutaneous ulceration
§Burkitt lymphoma
§Other lymphomas (Hodgkin, post transplant)
What is this infectious disease?
Infectious mononucleosis
Epstein‐Barr Virus/EBV‐induced disease
The virus spreads through saliva, which is why it’s sometimes called “kissing disease.” Mono occurs most often in teens and young adults. However, you can get it at any age. Symptoms of mono include:
Fever
Sore throat
Swollen lymph glands
- when you have salivary transfer, your lymph nodes get swollen
- people feel fatigue and fever
- they have tonsilitis
- can lead to the secretion of white or gray‐ green tonsillar exudate
- they can get petechiae on the palate too.
What is this disease?
Which virus causes it
describe it
Oral hairy leukoplakia
Epstein‐Barr Virus induced disease
❏ Corrugated white
keratotic lesion

tongue in HIV+ people
What is this diseases?
Which virus is asscoaited with it?
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma
❏ Associated w/ HHV‐4 (EBV)
❏ You might be one of the first people to detect this
cancer – the first sign is the swelling of the lymph
nodes
In this case, these are late stages of the disease.

Infection
❏ Usually asymptomatic
❏ Symptomatic infections are nonspecific: chills, fever, sore throat
❏ What’s interesting here: ❏ When the cells are affected, they form these owl eyes – they are nuclear inclusions and cytoplasmic inclusions.
❏ Disease states found predominantly in:
- ○ pregnancy/neonates (congenital infection)
- immunocompromised patients, particularly transplant and HIV+ patients
❏ Latency in myeloid cells, salivary gland
cells and endothelium

HHV‐8
What is it?
Assoicated with what?
How it evolved?
How it is treated?
Kaposi sarcoma–associated herpesvirus (KSHV)
❏ Vascular neoplasm of endothelium
❏ Associated with immunosuppression
❏ Usually evolves through 3 stages:
○ Patch►plaque►nodular
- More commonly seen in patients with HIV infection.
- Treated with topical agents and chemotherapy.
What is this disease?
Describe it
Kaposi sarcoma
HHV 8
Kaposi sarcoma on
the skin:
>1cm
Different color, so
this is called a patch.
Erythematous
patches present on
multiple areas of the
face.
Kaposi sarcoma
Histopathology
Histopathology shows malignant endothelial cells proliferating.
There are tiny spaces. Extravasation of RBCs can be seen
What is this disease?
Kaposi Sarcoma
(HHV‐8)
Right photo: we see Patch, slightly raised plaque stage
○ This is different from hemangioma because if you press on it, it
doesn’t blanch (where all the blood goes away, and it looks
white)
Left photo: Nodular is when it becomes very exophytic
You need to do a biopsy for this because it looks irregular.
what are the charcterstics of
HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS (HPV)
?
§Small, non-enveloped icosahedral DNA virus that infects
skin or mucosal cells of humans.
§Circular DNA
§198 types established
§High and low risk types
‐ HIGH risk = CANCER
‐ LOW risk = WARTS
What can HPV Epithelial Lesions
cause?

What are Routes of Transmission for HPV?
▪ Sexual/non‐sexual direct contact
▪ Salivary transfer
▪ Contaminated objects (fomite) – not well established
▪ Autoinoculation – child puts finger into mouth
▪ Perinatal/pre‐natal transmission
What is HPV Pathogenesis and Incubation period?
Incubation period: 3 weeks – 2yrs
▪ Basic Explanation: Basal epithelial cell infection ► Genome
replicates ► DNA released into stratum corneum
▪ Detailed Explanation:
- HPV accesses and infects cells of the epithelial basal
layer through breaks in the skin or mucosa - The virus becomes incorporated in the genome of the
infected cell - The site of HPV integration into the cellular genome is
in the general region of known oncogenes - The virus replicates during keratinocyte
differentiation in the spinous and granular cell layers - A portion of the HPV genome encodes proteins that
are capable of inducing cell proliferation and
transformation (E6, E7)
HPV Pathogenesis – High Risk
▪ Break in the skin ► HPV (dark dots) invades and infects basal cells
▪ HPV incorporates into DNA ► moves up epithelium as it matures ► releases
Then 2 things happen
1.
or
2.
- Completely have infection go away
or
2 .Stays and forms wart or affects maturation (becomes cancer, depending on strain)
HPV Genome
Organization
▪ LCR: long control region
▪ P97: promoter protein
▪ E1‐E7: early region genes
▪ L1,L2: late region genes
What is the Molecular Mechanism
of HPV?
**E6 = degrades p53 E7 = inactivates pRb**
- E2 = attachment location of Integrated HPV
- transcription of E6 + E7
- Binding of the viral E7 protein to pRb ► release of E2F and other proteins ► signals for the cell cycle to progress
▪ As long as the E7 protein stays attached to pRb, uncontrolled cell proliferation will continue
HPV E6 protein is:
‐ A ubiquitin ligase
‐ contributes to oncogenesis by attaching ubiquitin molecules to p53 ► making
p53 inactive and subject to proteasomal degradation
▪ Normal function of p53 = to stop cell division + repair damaged DNA so that damaged cells do not reproduce (apoptosis)
▪ When p53 is inactive, cells with changes in the DNA, such as integrated viral DNA, are not repaired ► destabilizes the cell ► increases the risk of malignant transformation
What is Persistence of HPV
▪ Low‐risk types: clear faster, less likely to become persistent
▪ High‐risk types: clear slowly, more likely to become persistent
What is the Prevalence of Oral (HPV)
Overall: 6.9% (CI 6.7‐8.3)
▪ Gender: Men (10.1%) > Women (3.6%) – women clear faster
▪ Age: bimodal distribution – 30‐34yo and 60‐64yo (she says 30‐34 but Dr. Kerr’s
graph shows mid‐20s
▪ High Risk HPV (3.7%) > Low risk HPV (3.1%)
▪ HPV‐16 infection most prevalent (1% or 2.13 million Americans)
▪ Based on NHANES study w/ oral rinse sampling and PCR
What are Risk Factors Associated
w/ Prevalence of HPV?
▪ Ever had sex (7.6%) vs never had sex (0.9%)
▪ Male
▪ Increased number of sexual partners (vaginal or oral sex)
▪ Tobacco smoking
▪ HIV infection
Most prevelant HPV TYPE?
HPV 16 = most prevalent
What is the Prevalence in
HIV + ?
Ppl w/ HIV+ and low CD4 T‐cells lvl = higher risk of
HPV
HPV 16+ higher if CD4 <200
Compare between SCC in Squamous Cell Carcinoma caused by HPV vs Tobacco and Alcohol
▪ HPV associated SCCa
‐ Wild type TP53
‐ Low pRb
‐ Increased p16
▪ Tobacco and Alcohol associated SCCa
‐ *Mutated TP53 – mutated by carcinogens in tobacco and alcohol► cancer
‐ pRB overexpression
‐ Decrease p16

Not FDA approved for oral warts
HPV vaccine
Newest is Gardsail 9
against many types
for both men and women
▪ 2 doses recommended for boys/girls age 11‐12 and 6mo later
▪ Recommended for everyone <26yo (MAX)
▪ NOT recommended for 26+yo unless risk for new infections (less benefit since most already exposed)
▪ Virus like particles (VLP) of L1 capsid protein present in vaccine
Results of Vaccination ▪ Drops in infections w/ HPV types that cause most HPV cancers + genital warts in
teen girls, young adult women
▪ Among vaccinated women – cervical precancers dropped by 40%
What precentge of people will be infected with HPV in their lifetime?
▪ 80% ppl will be infected in lifetime
so better take the vaccine early!

location?
▪ Paramyxovirus
▪ Spread through respiratory droplets
▪ Symptoms: runny nose, red/watery eyes, cough, fever, rash, desquamation of skin
▪ *Characterized by Koplik’s spots
‐ Pathognomonic for measles
‐ Discrete, bluish white punctate mucosal
macules
‐ Surrounded by rim of erythema
‐ Represent foci of epithelial necrosis
‐ Often precedes skin manifestations
▪ Most common location for Koplok’s spots:
Buccal mucosa
‐ Lesions may resemble “grains of salt sprinkled
on erythematous background”

Virus
What diseases can it cause ?
(3)
Who do they effect?
How they are treated?
-Herpangina‐soft palate, red macules ► fragile vesicles (back of throat)
‐ Hand, foot, and mouth disease – oral lesions more in anterior regions (aphthous‐like), hand/foot (vesicles)
‐ Acute lymphonodular pharyngitis – nodules on the soft palate
▪ Usually seen in children
▪ Self‐limiting
What is this infectious disease?
Hand, foot, and mouth disease
caused by
Coxsackie
Virus
affect children
contagious
The condition is spread by direct contact with saliva or mucus.
What is this infectious disease?
Herpangina
casued by
Coxsackie
Virus
red macules and vesciles on the soft palate
a sudden viral illness in children.
It causes small blisterlike bumps or sores (ulcers) in the mouth
What is this infectious disease
Acute lymphonodular pharyngitis
Caused by
Coxsackie
Virus
Affects children
Nodules on the soft palate.
-distinctive, raised, micronodular lesions occur primarily in the pharynx and related structures and regressed without ulceration.

Symptoms?
Clinical signs?
Assosited with what syndrome?
Is there a vaccine?
How it is diagnosed?
▪ Family: Togavirus; Genus: Rubivirus
▪ Respiratory droplets
Symptoms:
‐ Fever, headache, malaise, coryza (runny nose), anorexia, pharyngitis,
lymphadenopathy
▪ Rash – maculopapular w/ desquamation
- *▪ Forchheimer sign**
- *▪ Palatal petechiae**
▪ Congenital rubella syndrome – pandemics in past

What is the Most common opportunistic fungal pathogen/ infection?
Candida Species
● Over 200 species exist
● At least 15 distinct Candida species cause human disease
Mucosal/Oral infections, which are generally non‐invasive are
caused primarily by ——–
Candida albicans
>90% of invasive disease is caused by 5 most common species, which are?
‐ C. albicans
‐ C. glabrata
‐ C. tropicalis
‐ C. parapsilosis
‐ C. krusei
Candida Species
have what kind of symbiosis with humans?
● Commensalism:
‐ “long‐term biological interaction (symbiosis) in which members of
one species gain benefits while those of the other species neither
benefit nor are harmed”
● >50% of humans carry candida without harmful effects
What is Candida Species‐
Disease State
- Becomes an “infection” called candidiasis when environment changes and encourages growth
- ● Defect in cell‐mediated immune response
- ‐ Ranges from mild superficial mucosal infection ►(can be) fatal disseminated disease (usually with people with HIV and transplants)
What causes Candida
Infection?
● A disrupted balance of the normal mucosal flora
● Impaired barrier functions
● Immunosuppression
such as:
‐ Use of broad‐spectrum antibiotic
‐ Leukemia
‐ HIV
‐ Cancer chemotherapy
‐ Diabetes
‐ Xerostomia (what we deal with, candidiasis can persist here)
Normally Candida is in the commensal state and once you reach a certain level where the fungal burden has increased, you increase the c‐FOS pathway
‐ This is when the organism forms —–; once these are formed,
you see invasion into the——- cells.
Normally it is in the commensal state and once you reach a certain
level where the fungal burden has increased, you increase the c‐FOS
pathway
‐ This is when the organism forms hyphae; once these are formed,
you see invasion into the epithelial cells.
Pathogenesis‐ Key
Features
● Commensalism
- Fungus is tolerated (threshold not reached)
- Immune cells are not activated
● Pathogenicity
- Fungal burden is increased and hyphae form
- Immune cells are recruited by cytokines, chemokines
- Neutrophils are recruited and kill fungus
- Dendritic cells present antigen to T‐cells
- T‐cells also decrease fungal burden (IL‐22, IL‐17)
- Innate and acquired clear fungus to levels below threshold
How does Candida
overcome host
defenses?
6
- Dimorphism (can be spore and a hyphae‐ 2 forms)
- Phenotypic switching (change shape)
- Adhesins/Invasins (aid in attachment)
- Molecular mimicry of mammalian integrins (helps to be avoided by the immune system)
- Secretion of hydrolytic enzymes (aids in invasion)
- Phospholipase B contributes to degradation of host tissue (aids in degradation to gain entry)
Dimorphism
of
Candida
Two forms?
SPORES‐ when they are in this form, they do NOT invade
HYPHAE‐ when they begin their invasion
Crosstalk: Candida ——- play an important role in the continuous
interchange that regulates the balance between saprophytism and
parasitism
Crosstalk: Candida glycans play an important role in the continuous
interchange that regulates the balance between saprophytism and
