WHAT IS virus?
• The Latin word virus means venom or poison
• Viruses have been defined as submicroscopic entities
which reproduce only within
specific living cells
CLASSIFICATION OF VIRusES
1.DNA Virusesa.Herpes virus
i.Herpes simplexii.Varicella zoster
iii.Cytomegalovirusiv.Epstein-Barr
virusb.Pox virus
i.Small pox ii.Molluscum contagiosum
2.RNA Virusesa.Paramyxovirus
i.Measlesii.Mumps
b.Picorna virusi.Coxsackie
c.Retrovirusi.HIV
CERTAIN TERMINOLOGIES
1.MACULES: Well-circumscribed, flat lesions that are noticeable because of their change from normal color of skin and mucosa
2.PAPULES: Solid lesions raised above the skin surface that are smaller than 1cm in diameter
3.PLAQUES: Solid raised lesions that are over 1cm in diameter
4.VESICLES: Elevated blisters containing clear fluid that are under 1cm in diameter
5.BULLAE: Elevated blisters containing clear fluid that are over 1cm in diameter
VIRAL INFECTIONS
1.DNA VIRUS INFECTIONSA. HERPES VIRUS INFECTIONS
i.Herpes simplexii.Varicella zosteriii.Cytomegalo virusiv.Epstein barr virus
i.HERPES SIMPLEX (ACUTE HERPETIC GINGIVOSTOMATITIS)
• Two immunological types are seen 1.HSV1 causes oral and pharyngeal infections
2.HSV2 causes genital infections
• Prodromal symptoms precede the oral lesions by 1-2 days
• Incubation period :2-12 days
HERPES SIMPLEX contd……
• ORAL MANIFESTATIONS
1. Appearance of generalized acute marginal gingivitis2. Several small gingival ulcers seen
HERPES SIMPLEX contd……
ORAL MANIFESTATIONS CONTD 3. Small thin walled vesicles surrounded by an inflammatory base seen which rupture leaving shallow round discrete ulcers on all portions of oral mucosa 4. Posterior pharynx reveals inflammation 5.Submandibular and cervical
lymph nodes are enlarged and tender
HERPES SIMPLEX contd……
• MANAGEMENT OF ORAL LESIONS1.Antiviral therapy: Acyclovir, famciclovir, valacyclovir2.Suppportive therapy
a.Aspirin for feverb.Fluids to maintain hydration and
electrolyte balancec.Topical anaesthetic eg dyclonine
hydrochloride 0.5% prior to meals if the patient has difficulty eating and drinking
HERPES LABIALIS• Herpes labialis is an
infection of the lip comonly caused by HSV-1
• It causes small blisters or sores on or around the mouth commonly known as cold sores or fever blisters
• The sores typically heal within 2–3 weeks, but the herpes virus remains dormant in the facial nerves, following orofacial infection, periodically reactivating (in symptomatic people) to create sores in the same area of the mouth or face at the site of the original infection known as Recurrent herpes labialis
II.VARICELLA ZOOSTER
• It is responsible for two major clinical manifestations 1. Chicken pox(Varicella) 2. Shingles(Herpes zoster)
• Chickenpox is a generalized primary infection that occurs the first time an individual contacts the virus
• Lesions of localized herpes zoster are seen when varicella zoster virus becomes reactivated
• Prodromal period: 2-4 days• Incubation period: 10-21 days
VARICELLA ZOOSTER contd…
• ORAL MANIFESTATIONS1.Shooting pain, paresthesia, burning and tenderness appear along the course of the affected nerve2.Unilateral vesicles on an erythematous base then appear in clusters 3.Vesicles change into ulcers
VARICELLA ZOOSTER contd…
ORAL MANIFESTATIONS CONTD
4.HZ of the geniculate ganglion i.e.RAMSAY HUNT syndrome is a rare form of the disease characteized by Bell’s palsy, unilateral vesicles of the external ear and vesicles of the oral mucosa
VARICELLA ZOOSTER contd…..
• COMPLICATIONPostherpetic neuralgia which is defined as pain remaining for over a month after the mucocutaneous lesions have healed
• MANAGEMENT1.Antiviral therapy: Acyclovir ,famciclovir,valacyclovir2.Therapy for post herpetic neuralgia: Application of capsaicin a substance extracted from hot chilli peppers.If it is ineffective,tricyclic antidepressant or gabapentin is indicated
Iii.Cytomegalo virus infection
• ORAL MANIFESTATIONS1.Non specific ulcerations that usually appear as a single ulcer without prec-eding vesicles on any oral mucosal tissue which are painful and tend to heal poorly
• MANAGEMENT1.Intravenous gancyclovir
iv.Epstein barr virus infection
• ORAL MANIFESTATIONS1.Infectious mononucleosis:
Acute gingivitis, stomatitis,the appearance of white or gray membrane in various areas, palatal petechiae and occasional oral ulcers

2.Burkitt’s lymphoma:Swelling of the affected jaw or other facial bones,loosening of the teeth and swelling of the lymph nodes which are nontender and rapidly growing in the neck or below the jaw
Epstein barr virus infection CONTD..
3.Nasopharyngeal carcinoma:
Epstein barr virus infection CONTD..
4.Oral hairy leukoplakia: Asymptomatic white lesion most commonly on the lateral borders of tongue

B. POX VIRUS INFECTIONSi.Smallpoxii.Molluscum
contagiosum
i.Small pox virus
• It is an acute viral disease which before the discovery of vaccination by Jenner, was epidemic in nature.
• On December 9, 1979, the WHO Global Commission for the Certification of Smallpox Eradication declared :
1. Smallpox eradication has been achieved throughout the world
2.There is no evidence that it will return as an endemic disease
Small pox & chicken pox
ii.Molluscum contagiosum
Incubation period : 6 weeks • ORAL MANIFESTATIONS
1.Lesions tumorlike in nature because of the typical localized epithelial proliferation caused by the virus
Molluscum contagiosum CONTD…
ORAL MANIFESTATIONS CONTD2.Lesions hemispheric in shape, usually about 5mm in diameter with a central umbilication which may be keratinized and are normal or slightly red in color3.Sites: Lips, tongue and buccal mucosa4. They are generally not painful, but they may itch or become irritated.
Molluscum contagiosum contd….
• MANAGEMENT1.Surgical excision2.Topical application of drugs such as podophyllin or cantharidin

b. Second dose is given at 15-18 months of age for adequate immunity
II.Mumps(EPIDEMIC PAROTITIS)
• It is an acute contagious viral infection characterized chiefly by unilateral or bilateral swelling of the salivary glands, usually the parotid
• Bilateral parotid involvement occurs in about 70% of cases , submandibular gland involvement in 10% of cases
• It is transmitted through droplet nuclei or saliva or fomites
