Q

HSV-Histopathology

A

Molding
Margination
Multinucleation

Also Tzanck cells

17
Q

Lab Results

A

Positive IgM and Negative IgG = Acute/Recent Infection

Negative IgM and positive IgG = established infection

18
Q

Treatment primary HSV

A
  • 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

**ACYCLOVIR NOT RECOMMENEDED ANYMORE

Medications:

  1. Topical anesthetic (OTC vs Rx)
  2. Mucosal coating (OTC)
  3. Analgesic (OTC vs Rx)
  4. Antiviral (Rx) (for immunocompromised or dehydrated pts)
19
Q

Warning about Primary HSV Meds

A

Rinses may diminish the gag reflex therefore better suited for older patients, but remember serious side-effects of seizures and methemoglobinemia in pediatric population.

20
Q

HSV-1 Recurrent infection

A
Secondary herpes
Mild, self-limiting
Latency in trigeminal ganglion
Vermilion border
Intraorally on fixed keratinized mucosa
Prodrome> papules > vesicles > ulcer > crust > heals > no scar
7-10 days
Unilateral
21
Q

Recurrent HSV-Triggers

A
Old age
UV light
Physical/emotional stress
Fatigue
Heat 
Cold
Pregnancy
Allergy
Trauma
Dental treatment
Respiratory illnesses
Fever
Menstruation
Systemic Diseases
Malignancy
22
Q

Can you give someone Herpes if you’re asymptomatic?

A

Asymptomatic shedding can occur in seropositive patients

More common after surgical procedures and in immunocompromised patients

Universal precautions

23
Q

What is the difference clinically between Recurrent HSV infection and Primary?

A

Intraoral colescing lesions are NOT ON MOVABLE MUCOSA FOR RECURRENT!! (palate and keratinized gingiva)

24
Q

Recurrent HSV-Treatment

A
  • Depends on severity/frequency
  • Preventive/suppressive vs episodic/abortive strategies
  • Antiviral agents/antiviral-steroid combination agents
  • Remove precipitating factors
25

Wound-healing modification/occlusive agents

28
Q

Suppression of Dentally Induced recurrent HSV

A

2-day prophylactic course of valacyclovir

  1. 2g taken 1 hr before dental tx
  2. 2g taken same evening
  3. 1g taken bid the next day

**STUDY WAS FUNDED BY MANUFACTURER OF VALTREX

29
Q

HSV-ATYPICAL PRESENTATION

A

Immunocompromised host
Location and extent of lesion

Usually do not see necrotic, large, lesions or lesions on movable mucosa

30
Q

HSV Associated Erythema multiforme

A

HSV implicated in trigger for erythema multiforme
Skin immune reaction in response to infection
Rx antiviral prophylaxis

31
Q

Varicella Zoster Virus Infection

A
  • HHV3
  • Primary infection is Varicella/Chicken pox
  • Secondary infection is Zoster/Shingles
  • May affect oral cavity/face if reactivation along distribution of V1/2/3
32
Q

Cytomegalovirus Infection

A

-HHV-5
-Latency in myeloid cells, salivary gland cells and endothelium (“OWL EYES”)
-Disease states found predominantly in:
> pregnancy/neonates (congenital infection)
> immunocompromised patients, particularly transplant and HIV+ patients

33
Q

Epstein-Barr Virus Infection

A
  • HHV-4
  • Latency in lymphocytes
-EBV-induced diseases with oral manifestations:
    > Infectious mononucleosis
    > Oral hairy leukoplakia 
    >Nasopharyngeal carcinoma
    >EBV mucocutaneous ulceration
    > Burkitt lymphoma

Burkitt lymphoma histology is
Sheets of diffuse B cells
“starry sky” is lymphocytes with center of macrophage

34
Q

Kaposi sarcoma

A

-HHV-8, KSHV
-Vascular neoplasm of endothelium
-Associated with immunosuppression
-Usually evolves through 3 stages:
Patch-plaque-nodular
