Hypogeusia, dysgeusia and ageusia are commonly prevalent and considered as the first recognized oral symptom of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Various other oral manifestations have also been reported in patients positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection. This article presents clinical presentation of oral lesions in two patients who were subsequently confirmed with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Background : Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune intraepithelial blistering disease involving the skin and mucous membranes. Oral lesions could be the first sign of the disease followed by the involvement of skin and other mucosa sites.Objectives : This is oral manifestations of pemphigus vulgaris case report, intended to help clinicians to recognize and treat the oral lesions.Case Reported : Male 27 yo admitted to RSUP Dr.Hasan Sadikin hospital with multiple blisters on the skin and oral mucosa, was diagnosed with Pemphigus Vulgaris.Case Management : Patient was treated with steroid mouth wash and oral paste. After two months of treatment, the patient was fully recovered from oral lesion.Discussion : In PV, autoantibodies are produced against desmosomes spesifically desmoglein 3 which responsible for holding the cells of the epithelium together. The loss of adhesive function due to anti Dsg 3 antibodies result in bulla formation on the oral mucosa.The aetiology for PV is still uncertain. Conclusion :Early recognition and treatment of oral lesions is important as it may prevent skin involvement. Early treatment, patient’s compliance and multi disciplinal teamwork ensure the treatment succes for this disease

Peripheral ossifying fibroma is one of the common reactive oral lesions which accounts for about 9.6% of all gingival lesions. There is a predilection for females in the second to fourth decade of life. Most lesions are less than 2 cm in size, although larger ones occasionally occur. The raised lesion may appear smooth or ulcerated and most often is caused by constant irritation or trauma. The growth-like clinical presentation may lead to misclassification; however, the histologic appearance is quite diagnostic for this lesion. In this case report we are discussing the case of a young male patient with peripheral ossifying fibroma in the mandibular anterior region which was managed by complete surgical excision. Key Words: Peripheral ossifying fibroma, reactive lesion, mandibular gingiva

Typhoid fever is an endemic infection in developing countries like India. Oral manifestations of enteric fever and typhoid tonsillitis have rarely been reported in the literature.   We report a 20 year old male, showing tonsillitis to be an integral part of clinical presentation of typhoid fever.The patient presented with fever, throat pain and oral ulcers. Blood culture and swab from tonsils showed significant growth of Salmonella typhi.This case report adds light to tonsillitis as a rare clinical manifestation of typhoid fever.

ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to describe certain common oral manifestations during early childhood that should be known by the pediatric dental surgeon. Background The correct diagnosis and treatment of oral manifestations during early childhood is important for children's development. The pediatric dentist is responsible for maintaining oral health in children, since they change constantly during their development and growth. Case report Four cases of oral lesions are described, in which the diagnosis and related approach for each one is reported. The first was an acute primary herpetic gingivostomatitis, the second, pseudomembranous candidiasis, the third, chickenpox and the last was molluscum. Conclusion Professionals who treat children in this age group must be able to diagnose and treat common oral manifestations when necessary and should refer the child to a pediatrician for effective treatment if the presence of any systemic alteration is suspected. Clinical significance Pathognomonic signs of the most common oral manifestations in early childhood should be known by dentists to improve early diagnosis and proper management.

: Infective Endocarditis (IE), a known complication of hemodialysis (HD), has recently been categorized as Healthcare-Associated Infective Endocarditis (HAIE). Single pathogen bacteremia is common, polymicrobial endocardial infection is rare in this cohort of the patients. We report a case of endocarditis caused by Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia), a first ever reported combination of a usual and an unusual organism, respectively, in a patient on HD. Clinical presentation of the patient, its complicated course ,medical and surgical management ,along with microbial and echocardiographic findings is presented herein. The authors believe that presentation of this case of HAIE may benefit and contribute positively to cardiac science owing to the rare encounter of this organism as a pathogen in infective endocarditis and the difficulties in treating it.

Oesophageal disorders are relatively uncommon in large animals. Oesophageal obstruction is the most frequently encountered clinical presentation in bovine and it may be intraluminal or extra luminal (Haven, 1990). Intraluminal obstruction or “choke” is the most common abnormality that usually occurs when foreign objects, large feedstuff, medicated boluses, trichobezoars, or oesophageal granuloma lodge in the lumen of the oesophagus. Oesophageal obstructions in bovine commonly occur at the pharynx, the cranial aspect of the cervical oesophagus, the thoracic inlet, or the base of the heart (Choudhary et al., 2010). Diagnosis of such problem depends on the history of eating particular foodstuff and clinical signs as bloat, tenesmus, retching, and salivation

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, a rare condition of unknown etiology, was first described by Kitamura et al. from Japan in 1960. It is characterized by a triad consisting of well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian male, who had asymptomatic symmetrical facial lesions since the age of 42. His family history was unremarkable. Published erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli cases of the last 10 years are summarized in this report to demonstrate the variability and differences in the clinical presentation of this uncommon diagnosis.

Partial physeal bars may develop after injury to the growth plate in children, eventually leading to disturbance of normal growth. Clinical presentation, age of the patient, and the anticipated growth will dictate the best treatment strategy. The ideal treatment for a partial physeal bar is complete excision to allow growth resumption by the remaining healthy physis. There are countless surgical options, some technically challenging, that must be weighted according to each case’s particularities. We reviewed the current literature on physeal bars while reporting the challenging case of a short stature child submitted to a femoral physeal bar endoscopic-assisted resection with successful growth resumption. This case dares surgeons to consider all options when treating limb length discrepancy, such as the endoscopic-assisted resection which might offer successful results.

Abstract First characterized by Stroebe, the gliosarcomas are highly malignant and rare primary tumor of the brain composed of neoplastic glial cells in association with spindle cell sarcomatous elements (biphasic tissue patterns). In spite of being recognized as two different pathologies studies have not shown any significant differences between gliosarcoma and glioblastoma with regard to age, sex, size, clinical presentation, and median survival. In summary, gliosarcoma is an aggressive tumor with a propensity to recur and re-grow with poor outcome. Future studies are needed to understand the true pathology of these biphasic tumors.
