Introduction: Oral tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 2 billion people are infected with tuberculosis. Objective: To report a rare case of oral tuberculosis with ulcers at two different sites. Materials and methods: In order to emphasize the need to consider tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of non-healing ulcers of oral cavity and the role of oral physician in preventing the spread of such lesions, this article presents a case of oral ulcers at two different sites, diagnosed as tuberculosis ulcer. Results: Oral cavity, which is considered to be a mirror of systemic health, rarely manifests tuberculosis. With increasing number of tuberculosis cases and unusual form of the disease in the oral cavity, the cases are likely to be misdiagnosed. Conclusion: An oral clinician should have a thorough knowledge of tuberculosis and its oral manifestations.

The Relationship

This scientific article discusses the oral manifestations of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. This problem is relevant both for dentists and family doctors. In medicine, for a long period of time, the relationship between diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract and their symptoms manifested in the oral cavity has been considered. Many scientists and physicians have dealt with this problem, their several opinions are presented in this article. There is a hypothesis among researchers that the oral cavity is a mirror in which all human diseases can be visible. In the oral cavity, most of the alterations occurring in the organism are manifested, due to which, with an attentive attitude to oral manifestations, the disease can be detected already at the initial stage.

Subject. The scientific works of recent years show an increase in the degree of negative impact of vitamin deficiency and vitamin-like substances on the state of health of the population. With the deficiency of most vitamins, synthetic processes and regeneration of oral tissues are reduced, so often the initial signs of hypovitaminosis are stomatitis, gingivitis, glossitis, and therefore, it is dentists who are the first to diagnose deviations in the body associated with vitamin deficiency. This justifies the relevance and practical value of studying and describing clinical cases of manifestations of deficient vitamin conditions in the oral cavity. The object – is to study the effect of B vitamins on the oral mucosa in order to increase the effectiveness of diagnosis of vitamin-deficient conditions of the human body. Methodology. These clinical examples illustrate the management experience of patients with manifestations of deficient vitamin conditions on the oral mucosa. Clinical and laboratory methods of diagnosing the analysed conditions of the organism were applied. Statistical processing of materials was carried out using the STATISTICA 10 software (StatSoft, Inc., USA). Results. The deficient condition of the organism in relation to vitamins B2, B6, B12 in patients 18-75 years old has been studied. Characteristic clinical changes on the oral mucosa of the examined patients were established. So, in most patients with vitamin B2 deficiency, the classic Sebrel triad was found: dermatitis, glossitis, cheilitis. In those examined with a lack of vitamin B6, language desquamations (smoothed, polished language) were determined in the 83.6%, often combined with glossodinia. Patients with vitamin B12 deficiency were characterized by a lesion in the form of Meller-Gunter glossitis in 74.9% of cases, moreover, 67.6% of patients showed paresthesia in the area of tongue and oral mucosa. Conclusions. The study found that the first clinical symptoms of deficient conditions of the presented vitamins of group B were found from the oral cavity. Thus, it is the dentist who is the first to diagnose the pathological states of lack of group B vitamins in the human body, which emphasizes the importance and relevance of continuing to study these states of the body.

The study has been carried as a review of news about coronavirus disease (COVID-19) published in main stream newspaper (Daily Jang) prior to emergence in Pakistan. The front page of newspaper Daily Jang-Pakistan was selected for evaluation of study. The duration of study was from 31st December 2019 to 27th February 2020.The data has been qualitatively analyzed about text analysis, interpretative analysis, discourse analysis, rhetorical analysis, narrative analysis, and semiotic analysis whereas quantitatively analyzed for increasing number of patients, death and global bifurcation of affected cases. The first case of COVID-19 apparently reported on 31st December 2019 in China and got place at front page of newspaper on 24th January 2020 with 571 affected persons and 17 deaths.By 28th January 2020 USA, Canada, Australia, France, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Nepal were affected from new viral disease and till 5th of February 2020 more than two dozen countries confirmed about existence of new disease. China has taken immediate health interventions. Subsequently strategies were made in the world including Pakistan. WHO made global strategies to control new viral disease. Although most countries shifted their citizen from China however Pakistan did not removed their citizen from affected country. In the light of Hadith, Muslim Scholars advised that citizens of Pakistan should not be shifted outside China till control of disease. The scientist started to investigate new disease. The herbal medicine also used in public. Campaign on media started about awareness of new disease. The business activity found to be reduced due to disease. Necessary preventive arrangements were made by the aviation department. Pakistan also banned on import of animal and birds. The burial ceremonies of deceased due to COVID-19 were also limited for participation. Many operations like Haj, Umrah and Olympic 2020 expected to be affected due to new viral disease. However a common marriage found to be reported in South Korea. Dr.Ventiang died on 8th February 2020 who initially suspected and diagnosed for existence and origin of new disease. On 26th   February 2020 a news  on front page indicating to inner page that “many countries affected by corona virus disease and afterward on 27th February 2020 there was a main headline news on the front page that “Corona reached Pakistan.”

Nevus of Ota, a dermal melanocytic nevus, is rare in the Indian subcontinent. It presents as a brown, blue, or gray patch on the face and is within the distribution of the ophthalmic and maxillary branches of the trigeminal nerve. The oral cavity is infrequently involved in nevus of Ota. Only 11 cases have been documented in the English literature. We report a rare case of intraoral nevus of Ota in a 22-year-old male patient. This paper focuses on the differential diagnosis of oral manifestations of nevus of Ota to assist in proper followup to avert malignant transformation.

The Many

Among the many approaches to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prevention, the possible role of nutrition has so far been rather underestimated. Foods are very rich in substances, with a potential beneficial effect on health, and some of these could have an antiviral action or be important in modulating the immune system and in defending cells from the oxidative stress associated with infection. This short review draws the attention on some components of citrus fruits, and especially of the orange (Citrus sinensis), well known for its vitamin and flavonoid content. Among the flavonoids, hesperidin has recently attracted the attention of researchers, because it binds to the key proteins of the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Several computational methods, independently applied by different researchers, showed that hesperidin has a low binding energy, both with the coronavirus “spike” protein, and with the main protease that transforms the early proteins of the virus (pp1a and ppa1b) into the complex responsible for viral replication. The binding energy of hesperidin to these important components is lower than that of lopinavir, ritonavir, and indinavir, suggesting that it could perform an effective antiviral action. Furthermore, both hesperidin and ascorbic acid counteract the cell damaging effects of the oxygen free radicals triggered by virus infection and inflammation. There is discussion about the preventive efficacy of vitamin C, at the dose achievable by the diet, but recent reviews suggest that this substance can be useful in the case of strong immune system burden caused by viral disease. Computational methods and laboratory studies support the need to undertake apposite preclinical, epidemiological, and experimental studies on the potential benefits of citrus fruit components for the prevention of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

ABSTRACT The mouth is the major portal of entry to the body and is equipped with formidable mechanisms for sensing the environment and defending against toxins or invading pathogens. The oral cavity can be considered as a window to the body because many important systemic disorders manifest in the oral cavity. The dentist is frequently the first medical person to encounter such disorders. These oral manifestations must be properly recognized if the patient is to receive appropriate diagnosis and referral for treatment.

AbstractA 49-year-old woman treated with increasing dosage of propylthiouracil (PTU) in order to control hyperthyroidism, developed progressive necrotic ulcers in the oral cavity, oropharynx and rhinopharynx and vasculitic ulcers on both auricular pinnae after a few days. The PTU treatment was immediately discontinued and the mucosal and skin manifestations resolved promptly. Laboratory findings, including anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), suggested allergic vasculitis. This is to our knowledge the first reported case of oral manifestations of PTU-induced allergic vasculitis.
