The occurrence of tuberculosis of the upper respiratory tract including oral cavity has become uncommon. Isolated tuberculosis in the absence of active pulmonary tuberculosis is very rare clinical entity. Here is a report of primary tuberculosis of tonsil, presented with complaints of sore throat.Faridpur Med. Coll. J. 2014;9(1): 58-59

Pass Through

Influenza viruses are known to be infected through epithelial cells of the upper respiratory tract. The oral cavity is in close anatomical proximity to the upper respiratory tract, and it is conceivable that the viruses could pass through the oral cavity and infect to the upper respiratory tract. Several researchers have suggested that colonization of certain pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae might affect the risk of influenza viral disease, indicating that oral hygiene and/or condition might play an important role in respiratory viral infection. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether an oral hygiene/condition might impact influenza infection. We conducted a retrospective observational study of Japanese citizens’ regional cohort (N = 2,904) consisting of National Health Insurance beneficiaries who underwent annual health/dental examination with data entries in the Kokuho database (KDB). Trained dentists checked the oral hygiene/condition, and saliva specimens were examined using the LION dental saliva multi-test (SMT) kit. Influenza infection was identified from the diagnosis recorded in the KDB. The correlations between influenza infection and oral hygiene, dryness of the mouth, or various salivary test results were examined by a multivariate analysis adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, recent smoking, alcohol drinking, BMI, HbA1c, RBC for influenza infection. The logistic regression model showed that age significantly correlated with influenza infection. In addition, oral hygiene status had a nearly significant impact on influenza infection (p = 0.061), whereby, the subjects with poor oral hygiene had a higher risk of influenza infection than those with good oral hygiene (odds ratio: 1.63, 95% confidence interval: 0.89–2.95). Further, the prevalence of influenza infection was lower in the subjects with saliva weakly acidic and/or containing higher protein level. The results of this study suggested that the maintenance of oral health conditions might be one of the pivotal factors for preventing and reducing influenza infection.

The synergism of the action of co-infecting microorganisms contributes to their overcoming the epithelial barrier, modification of the function of cells of the immune system (IS) and evading the immune response. In children with congenital cleft lip and palate (CCLP), despite elimination of the anatomical defect at an earlier age, the frequency of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract and oral cavity involving pathogen associations increases as they get older, at the same time defects in the functioning of IS are preserved. Objective. To develop immunotherapy program for children with CCLP, suffering from recurrent co-infections of the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity, based on the study of the dynamics of the microbial landscape transformation, IS dysfunction, clinical manifestations of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity in children with CCLP at different ages. Patients and methods. The study included 120 children from 1 to 12 years of age with CCLP at different stages of surgical treatment. The study was carried out: T and B lymphocytes, natural killer cells (FC500 "Beckman Coulter", USA), phagocytic and microbicidal functions of neutrophilic granulocytes (NG), serum IgA, IgM, IgG and sIgA levels in the oral fluid (ELISA), detection of microbial pathogens (microbiological analysis, ELISA) and viral (PCR). Results. Comprehensive examination of children with CCLP at different age periods, including characteristics of the clinical manifestations of infectious and inflammatory diseases, assessment of the microbial landscape of the oral cavity and upper respiratory tract with the identification of co-infection features, clarification of the variants of IS dysfunction, made it possible to reveal children with the most severe clinical manifestations of recurrent co-infections and to optimize treatment. Conclusion. The developed program of combined local interferon and systemic immunotherapy for immunocompromised children with CCLP contributes to the restoration of IS functions, anti-infective resistance and achievement of positive clinical effects in the form of regression of clinical signs of immunocompromise in patients with recurrent co-infections, which allows to obtain a protective effect and provide timely surgical care, to avoid complications in the postoperative period and at the stage of recovery, and by improving anti-infective immunity to enhance the quality of life of children with CCLP. Key words: children, congenital cleft lip and palate, co-infection, systemic immunity, microbiocenosis, immunotherapy

Prevention And Therapy

The textbook was published on satisfactory paper, typed in distinct type, richly illustrated with drawings. It is a very solid work, briefly and at the same time in detail setting out the basics of otorhinolaryngology. The premise of the basics of prevention and therapy, the presentation of the individual parts, as well as the chapter on diseases of the oral cavity and the phonetic appendix, make the textbook especially valuable. It is quite obvious that it will receive the widest distribution both among students and among practitioners.
