Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)Oral Manifestations of Viral Infections Viral infections can lead to a variety of oral manifestations, which may vary depending on the type of virus involved. Below are the key viral infections and their associated oral symptoms. --- 1. Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Infections Type: HSV-1 and HSV-2 Common Oral Manifestations: Primary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis: In children, presents as painful swelling and redness of the gums, with vesicular lesions on the lips, tongue, and hard palate. Recurrent Herpes Simplex: Cold sores (herpes labialis) often appear on the lips or around the mouth, and are painful and fluid-filled. Herpetic Whitlow: Infection of the fingers, often seen in healthcare workers. Clinical Features: Vesicular lesions that break to form ulcers Painful and burning sensations in affected areas Swollen lymph nodes Fever (during primary infection) Diagnosis: Direct immunofluorescence, PCR, or viral culture. --- 2. Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) Infections Type: Varicella (chickenpox) and Herpes Zoster (shingles) Common Oral Manifestations: Varicella: Enanthem (oral lesions) such as vesicular lesions on the hard palate, tongue, and lips, in conjunction with the characteristic skin rash. Herpes Zoster (Shingles): Unilateral painful oral lesions, often involving the hard and soft palate, and can extend to the tongue or buccal mucosa along the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Clinical Features: Vesicular lesions that ulcerate Pain and discomfort in affected areas Fever, malaise, and headache (for chickenpox) Diagnosis: PCR, direct fluorescence antibody test, and clinical signs. --- 3. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infections Type: Multiple strains, including HPV types 16 and 18 Common Oral Manifestations: Oral Warts: Benign, non-painful growths typically found on the lips, palate, tongue, and floor of the mouth. Condyloma Acuminatum: Wart-like lesions in the mouth, often associated with genital HPV. Oropharyngeal Cancer: Certain high-risk HPV strains (e.g., HPV-16) are linked to cancers of the oropharynx, including tonsils and base of tongue. Clinical Features: Raised, fleshy, or cauliflower-like growths Rarely associated with pain or discomfort Diagnosis: Biopsy and PCR testing for HPV. --- 4. Coxsackievirus Infections Type: Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) Common Oral Manifestations: Oral Ulcers: Painful, shallow ulcers typically seen on the soft palate, tonsils, tongue, and buccal mucosa. Vesicular Lesions: Small vesicles that ulcerate to form painful sores. Clinical Features: Red spots or vesicles that turn into ulcers Fever, sore throat, and malaise Rash and lesions on hands and feet Diagnosis: Clinical presentation and PCR. --- 5. Measles (Rubeola) Type: Paramyxovirus Common Oral Manifestations: Koplik Spots: Small, white or bluish-white spots seen on the buccal mucosa opposite the molars before the rash appears. Generalized Oral Ulceration: Following the appearance of Koplik spots, mucosal lesions may develop. Clinical Features: High fever, cough, and rash (starts on the face and spreads) Conjunctivitis Koplik spots as early indicators Diagnosis: Clinical signs and serology for measles antibodies. --- 6. HIV/AIDS Type: Human Immunodeficiency Virus Common Oral Manifestations: Oral Candidiasis: Fungal overgrowth in the mouth due to immunosuppression. Kaposi's Sarcoma: A form of cancer that appears as purple or brown lesions in the mouth, especially in the palate or gingiva. Oral Hairy Leukoplakia: White, hairy lesions on the lateral borders of the tongue, often associated with Epstein-Barr virus. Herpes Simplex and Zoster: Recurrent infections in the oral cavity. Clinical Features: Candidiasis: White plaques that can be scraped off Kaposi’s Sarcoma: Purple, macular lesions Hairy Leukoplakia: White, corrugated patches on the tongue Recurrent infections and oral ulcers Diagnosis: HIV testing, biopsy for Kaposi's sarcoma, and culture for candidiasis. --- 7. Influenza Virus Type: Influenza A and B Common Oral Manifestations: Pharyngitis: Sore throat and erythema of the oropharyngeal mucosa. Dry Mouth: Often secondary to fever and dehydration. Mucosal Erosions: Rare, but may occur in severe cases. Clinical Features: Fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, and headache Red or swollen tonsils and oral mucosa Diagnosis: Rapid influenza tests and PCR. --- 8. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Type: Epstein-Barr virus Common Oral Manifestations: Oral Hairy Leukoplakia: White, asymptomatic, corrugated patches on the lateral borders of the tongue. Pharyngitis: Sore throat with swelling of tonsils. Oral Ulcers: Occasionally seen in association with infectious mononucleosis. Clinical Features: Fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes (mononucleosis) Fatigue and malaise Diagnosis: EBV serology and PCR. --- 9. Rabies Virus Type: Rabies virus Common Oral Manifestations: Hydrophobia: Difficulty swallowing and fear of water. Increased Salivation: Resulting from dysfunction in the throat and jaw muscles. Clinical Features: Progressive neurological symptoms Paroxysms of pain or spasms in the throat and mouth Diagnosis: Clinical signs, rabies testing (saliva, CSF, or tissue biopsy). --- 10. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Common Oral Manifestations: Oral Candidiasis: White, creamy lesions in the mouth, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Kaposi’s Sarcoma: Purple or red lesions on the palate and gingiva. Herpes Simplex: Recurrent oral lesions. Oral Hairy Leukoplakia: A condition linked with Epstein-Barr virus, presenting as white patches on the lateral borders of the tongue. --- Conclusion Oral manifestations of viral infections are varied and can provide valuable clues for diagnosing systemic viral diseases. Clinicians must consider the specific features and patterns of lesions in combination with other clinical signs for an accurate diagnosis. Some infections may also have long-term oral health implications, requiring management and prevention strategies.Varizella-Zoster-Virus (VZV)Virus varicelle-zonaVirus Varicela-Zóster (VZV)"Arturo tiene varicela" Reading comprehension.All living things are made up of one or more cells. A cell is the smallest unit that can carry on all of the processes of life. Beginning in the 17th century, curious naturalists were able to use microscopes to study objects too small to be seen with the unaided eye. Their studies led them to propose the cellular basis of life. Hooke In 1665, English scientist Robert Hooke studied nature by using an early light microscope, such as the one in Figure 4-1a. A light micro- scope is an instrument that uses optical lenses to magnify objects by bending light rays. Hooke looked at a thin slice of cork from the bark of a cork oak tree. “I could exceedingly plainly perceive it to be all perforated and porous,” Hooke wrote. He described “a great many little boxes” that reminded him of the cubicles or “cells” where monks live. When Hooke focused his microscope on the cells of tree stems, roots, and ferns, he found that each had similar little boxes. The drawings that Hooke made of the cells he saw are shown in Figure 4-1b. The “little boxes” that Hooke observed were the remains of dead plant cells, such as the cork cells shown in Figure 4-1c. SECTION 1 OBJECTIVES ● Name the scientists who first observed living and nonliving cells. ● Summarize the research that led to the development of the cell theory. ● State the three principles of the cell theory. ● Explain why the cell is considered to be the basic unit of life. VOCABULARY cell cell theory Robert Hooke used an early microscope (a) to see cells in thin slices of cork. His drawings of what he saw (b) indicate that he had clearly observed the remains of cork cells (300) (c). FIGURE 4-1 (a) (b) (c) Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston.

Leeuwenhoek made microscopes that were simple and tiny, but he ground lenses so precisely that the magnification was 10 times that of Hooke’s instruments. In 1673, Leeuwenhoek, shown in Figure 4-2a, was able to observe a previ- ously unseen world of microorganisms. He observed cells with green stripes from an alga of the genus Spirogyra, as shown in Figure 4-2b, and bell-shaped cells on stalks of a protist of the genus Vorticella, as shown in Figure 4-2c. Leeuwenhoek called these organisms animalcules. We now call them protists. THE CELL THEORY Although Hooke and Leeuwenhoek were the first to report observ- ing cells, the importance of this observation was not realized until about 150 years later. At this time, biologists began to organize information about cells into a unified understanding. In 1838, the German botanist Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants were composed of cells. The next year, the German zoologist Theodor Schwann concluded the same thing for animals. And finally, in his study of human diseases, the German physician Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) noted that all cells come from other cells. These three observations were combined to form a basic theory about the cel- lular nature of life. The cell theory has three essential parts, which are summarized in Table 4-1. Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723) is shown here with one of his hand-held lenses (a). Leeuwenhoek observed an alga of the genus Spirogyra (b) and a protist of the genus Vorticella (c). FIGURE 4-2 TABLE 4-1 The Cell Theory All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism. Cells come only from the reproduction of existing cells. (a) (b) (c) www.scilinks.org Topic: Cell Theory Keyword: HM60241 mb06se_csfs01.qxd 5/18/07 10:54 AM Page 70indicadores
