TUBERCULOSIS

.Bacterial infection


. Secondary variant-reactivation of active disease


..Associated with diabetes, poverty, old age, crowded conditions, AIDS


..Miliary- spread through the vascular system

TB Cause

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, acid-fast bacteria





TB Extrapulmonary
Involvement of skin-lupus Vulgaris
TB Secondary Disease

Symptoms include hemoptysis, productive cough, night sweats, weight loss, fever spreads by vascular, lymphatics, or expectorated infected material. Oral lesions present as chronic painless ulcer on tongue, palate, lip

TB Scrofula


Nontuberculous mycobacterium


found in contaminated milk


Enlargement of oropharyngeal lymphoid tissues and cervical lymph nodes





TB Histopathology

Formation of granulomas( epithelioid histiocytes, lymphocytes, multinucleated giant cells)


with caseous necrosis


Organisms identified by acid fast stain

GRANULOMAS

Foreign body
Tuberculosis


tertiary syphylis


cat stratch disease

Coccidioidomycosis





CAT-SCRATCH DISEASE

Most common cause of chronic regional lymphadenopathy in children
CAT-SCRATCH DISEASE CAUSE

Infection results from scratch of kitten or cat infected with Bartonella henselae.



Syphilis (Lues)
Caused by Treponema pallidum, spirochete
Syphilis (Lues)

Two modes of transmission:


Sexual contact


Mother to fetus

Syphilis (Lues)

Three stages:


primary


Secondary


Tertiary

Primary Syphilis

. Occurs at site of inoculation


** Chancre seen 3 to 90 days after inoculation


. Lesions found on external genitalia, anus, and oral cavity

Secondary syphilis (Disseminated)

Clinical Presentation:


Painless lymphadenopathy


Diffuse, painless maculopapular rash involving palmar/plantar areas


Condyloma lata-papillary lesions (resemble viral papillomas)


Oral lesions-mucous patches-whitish areas of mucosa involving lip, tongue, buccal mucosa, palate

Tertiary Syphilis

Most serious complication


Vascular complications-aneurysm of ascending aorta, congestive heart failure


Psychosis, Dementia, Death


Ocular involvement-iritis, choroidoretinitis, Argyll Robertson pupil


Argyll Robertson pupil-pupil does not respond to bright light but constrict on focus

Tertiary Syphilis
Most characteristic-granulomatous inflammation of tissues known as gumma
Tertiary Syphilis

Gumma-indurated, nodular, ulcerated lesion resulting in tissue destruction


Palatal surface is perforated to nasal cavity

Congenital Syphilis

known as Hutchinson's Triad


Hutchinson's Teeth


incisors (looks like screw driver)


Mulberry molars (Moon's molars or Fournier)


Ocular interstitial keratitis


Eighth nerve deafness

Scarlet Fever (Scarlatina)

.Caused by Group A, Beta-hemolytic Streptococci


Begin as a tonsillitis with pharyngitis


.Organisms attack blood vessels and produce-skin rash


.Rash develops within two days and spreads-within 24 hours ("sunburn with goose pimples")


.Dorsal tongue


Fungiform papillae become erythematous


"white strawberry tongue" first two days


"Red strawberry tongue" fourth to fifth day



Tonsillar Concretions & Tonsillolith

Tonsillar concretion-mass of foul-smelling desquamated keratin and foreign material with bacterial colonization


Tonsillolith- dystrophic calcification of tonsillarconcretion


Treat: remove by gargling warm salt water or pulsating jets of water

Actinomycosis

.NOT a FUNGAL INFECTION


.caused by anaerobic, gram-positive branching organism, Actinomyces israeli


. Clinical presentation


indurated (wooden) area of fibrosis


Fistulous tract can result


"Sulfur granules" -yellow felcks of bacterial- colonies found in pus or tracts


.Commonly seen at angle of mandible


. Histopathology


Colonies of club-shaped organisms surrounded by a rim of neutrophils


Organisms seen by Gram stain


Treatment: antibiotics with drainage





FUNGAL INFECTIONS

CANDIDIASIS


HISTOPLASMOSIS


BLASTOMYCOSIS


PARACOCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS


COCCIDIODOMYCOSIS


ZYGOMYCOSIS


ASPERGILLOSIS

Candidiasis

.most common oral fungal infection


.Dimorphic organism-exist in yeast(in human) and hyphae (environment) form


.normal oral flora


. common predisposing factors


chronic debilitating disease


nutritional and endocrine disturbances


broad-spectrum Antibiotic Therapy


Systemic Corticosteroid Therapy


Partial or Complete Dentures


Immune Defiency




Pseudomembranous Candidiasis (THRUSH)

(like white cottage cheese)


.most recognized form


.white plaques


Cottage cheese or curdled milk


.easily be removed with tongue blade or gauze to reveal erythematous mucosa





Erythematous Candidiasis

.Presents as burning sensation


(Does not exhibit white component seen in pseudomembranous)


.Can occur after course of broad-spectrum antibiotics (acute atrophic candidiasis)


.If present on tongue, filiform papillae is lost resulting in a red or "bald" appearance

Median Rhomboid Glossitis

(type of candidiasis)


.form of erythematous candidiasis


Central Papillary Atrophy


.Well-demarcated erythematous area involving the midline of the posterior dorsal tongue (loss of papilla of tissue in the middle of tongue)



Denture Stomatitis



(Chronic Atrophic Candidiasis)


. Found in patients wearing removable partials or complete dentures.


. Continuous wear of appliance without proper oral hygiene


.Appears erythematous with petechial hemorrhage in denture bearing areas.

Angular Cheilitis


(Perleche)

Found in older adults


. Occurs at the angles of the mouth (commissures)


Erythematous, fissured, or scaling


.Associated with Staphylococcus aureus


. Results from loss of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO)



Chronic Hyperplastic Candidiasis
.White patch that cannot be removed by scraping
Candidiasis

Diagnosis: cytologic smear
