17
Q

Herpes Labialis management

A

preventive measures
warn pts of infectivity of the lesion
topical acyclovir cream in prodromal phase

18
Q

Herpes Labialis dental implications

A

transmission to dentist
transmission to dental equipment
cross infection control of paramount importance

19
Q

Varicella zoster virus

A

highly contagious - direct contact/coughing
initial infection
dormant in dorsal root, cranial nerve or autonomic ganglion
recurrent infection - herpes zoster

20
Q

Herpes zoster CF

A

Unilateral painful vesicular eruption localised to a single dermatome

21
Q

Herpes Zoster HPC

A

Reactivation associated with impaired host immunity
pain precedes eruption by 2-4 days
commonest CNS viral infection
40+ age group

22
Q

Herpes Zoster management

A

high dose systemic acyclovir for 7-10 days
800mg x 5 days

23
Q

Herpes Zoster dental significance

A

Infectivity of lesions
pain may mimic toothache
post herpetic neuralgia

24
Q

Varicella zoster pathology

A

degeneration of epithelial cells leads to vesicle formation and ulcer formation
chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate in the connective tissue

25
Q

Epstein Barr virus

A

associated with glandular fever
associated with hairy leukoplakia
EBV related to oral ulceration: mimics SCC in immunocompromised
associated with mumps-like disease

26
Q

Cytomegalovirus

A

associated with oral ulceration in immunocompromised host
can affect salivary glands in infants and immunocompromised

27
Q

Acyclovir

A

viruses are obligate intracellular parasites requiring host cell metabolic processes for replication
antiviral drugs should affect virus but not host cells

28
Q

Acyclovir MOA

A

Analogue of purine nucleotide
Viral enzymes phosphorylate drug to Acyclo-AMP
Cellular enzymes phosphorylate Acyclo-AMP to Acylclo-GTP
Acyclo-GTP inhibits viral DNA synthesis

29
Q

Acyclovir uses

A

Herpes labialis
Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis
Herpes Zoster Infection

30
Q

Acyclovir pharmacokinetics

A

oral absorption moderate
1/2 2.5hrs
crosses blood brain barrier
eliminated by the kidney

31
Q

Acyclovir and Primary Gingivostomatitis

A

systemic therapy 200mg 5x day
begin tx at onset of infection
children over 2yrs - full adult dose

32
Q

Acyclovir and herpes labialis

A

topical 5% cream in prodromal phase
aborts lesion in prodromal phase in 40% cases
reduces duration of lesion which develop

33
Q

Paramyxovirus

A

Measles virus
Mumps virus

34
Q

Measles transmission

A

primarily airbone
high contagious
effective vaccination programme

35
Q

Measles clinical picture

A

respiratory symptoms
inflamed eyes
pyrexia
rash
koplik spots
self limiting
potentially serious life threatening complications e.g., encephalitis, pneumonia and blindness

36
Q

Mumps transmission

A

airborne
inanimate objects
highly contagious
effective vaccination programme

37
Q

Mumps clinical picture

A

enlarged salivary glands
flu like symptoms
usually self limiting
potentially serious complications

38
Q

Mumps diagnosis and tx

A

clinical
pcr
acute and convalescing serum
supportive therapies
notify public health agency

39
Q

hand, foot and mouth disease

A

symptoms –> general malaise, fever, flat red rash on hands, feet and around mouth
diagnosis –> clinical

40
Q

HPV: squamous papilloma

A

benign mucosal mass
pedunculated
finger like projections
HPV 6 and 11
excisional biopsy
