Gingival Involvement in Oral Herpes Simplex Virus infections
Journal Title: Medicine in Evolution - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the study is to assess the clinical features of gingival involvement in viral infections caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV). 165 medical charts of patients diagnosed with oral viral infection, over a period of 20 years, were analyzed. All patients presented with oral lesions in the clinical department of Oral Pathology Discipline, Faculty of Dental Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Carol Davila”, Bucharest where they were diagnosed and treated. Gingival involvement was reported in 55.1% of cases and in 12% gingival lesions were the only sign of the underlying herpetic infection. Because of the change in clinical appearance and symptoms, supplementary laboratory tests are now required in order to confirm the diagnosis. Further studies should be conducted in order to confirm these finding.
