ABSTRACT

Introduction:Le lichen plan buccal est une dermatose inflammatoire chronique, Il touche d'avantage la peau et la muqueuse orale mais les phanères et les autres muqueuses peuvent être également touchées. L'objet de notre étude est de préciser les caractéristiques cliniques de la pathologie dans sa localisation buccale. Patients et méthode Le recrutement des patients s'est fait au service de pathologie bucco-dentaire du CHU Mustapha Ont été retenus les patients présentant une lésion évoquant cliniquement un lichen plan buccal. Tous les patients ont bénéficié d'un examen clinique, complété pour certains par un examen anatomo-pathologique. La saisie des données est faite sur le logiciel Epi Info 6.0 fr. Résultats 80 patients ont été recrutés entre Janvier 2009 et Juin 2015, Le taux de prévalence estimé de la maladie est de 0,11%. La pathologie est plus fréquente chez l'adulte entre 40 et 60 ans, avec une prédominance féminine. 63,75% des patients présentent des comorbidités notamment diabète (29,41%), HTA (47,05%), et 55% prennent un traitement médical de façon permanente et chronique, Le stress et l'état psychologique du patient ont été retenus comme facteurs déclenchant la maladie et exacerbant la symptomatologie. La forme réticulée est plus fréquente (78,75%) suivie par la forme érosive (53,75%), L'atteinte est dans 84% des cas bilatérale, La localisation jugale prédomine (88,75%), Le traitement médical reste à effet palliatif, nous avons noté un cas de transformation maligne (1,44%), chez une femme après 03 ans d'évolution d'un lichen plan érosif lingual. Conclusion Le lichen plan est une pathologie auto-immune chronique, dans sa localisation buccale pose un problème de diagnostic, le traitement médical reste palliatif, l'élimination des facteurs irritatifs locaux et la prise en charge psychologique des patients permettent de mieux gérer les symptômes et les poussées aigues. Le risque de transformation maligne existe et par conséquent un suivi régulier du malade s'impose

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:The aims of this study were to determine the pattern and frequency of oral lesions and to compare the prevalence of HIV-related oral lesions in paediatric Nigerian patients on HAART with those not on HAART.MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients aged 15 years and below attending the Infectious Disease Clinic of Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital with a diagnosis of HIV were consecutively examined in a cross-sectional study over a 2-year period. Information was obtained by history, physical examinations, HIV testing, and enumeration of CD+ T cells. The results are presented. A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant.RESULTS:A total of 105 children comprising 63 males and 42 female who met the inclusion criteria participated in the study, mean age in months was 53.3±42.2, with a mean of 3.4±2.2 for male and 2.8±1.8 for female respectively. Oral lesions occurred in 61.9% of the children Overall, 22 (21.0%) had at least one oral lesion, 43 (41.0%) had multiple lesion. The most common lesion was oral candidiasis (79.1%). The angular cheilitis (43.8%) variant was most frequent. The mean CD4 counts were 1138 cells/mm(3), 913 cells/mm(3) and 629 cells/mm(3) for those without oral lesion, with single lesion and multiple oral lesions respectively. These differences were not statistically significant (ANOVA: F=0.185, df=2, 80, 82, P=0.831. Patients on HAART comprised about 61.9% and these were found to have reduced risk for development of such oral lesions as angular cheilitis (OR=0.76; 95% CI=0.56-1.02; P=0.03), pseudomembranous candidiasis (OR=0.71; 95% CI=0.54-0.94; P=0.024) and HIV-gingivitis (OR=0.59; 95% CI=0.46-0.75; P=0.001). HAART had some beneficial but insignificant effect on development of HIV-periodonttitis (OR=0.60; 95% CI=0.51-0.70; P=0.09). The chances of occurrence of other oral lesions were not significantly reduced by HAART (Kaposi sarcoma, OR=1.24; 95% CI=0.31-5.01; P=0.47, erythematous candidiasis, OR=1.13; 95% CI=0.62-2.06).CONCLUSION: HIV-related Oral lesions are frequently seen in HIV-infected Nigerian children. Paediatric patients receiving HAART had significantly lower prevalence of oral lesions, particularly oral candidiasis and HIV-gingivitis

ABSTRACT

Background: HIV patients have several habits that can produce oral lesions. However; the association of oral habits and risk behaviors with oral and peri-oral lesions in HIV patients has not been studied in Ethiopia to date. Objective: To assess the relationship of oral and peri-oral lesions with oral habits; risk behaviors; socio-demographicfactors and clinical stages of disease among HIV infected adult Ethiopians. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted on consecutive adult ART naive HIV patients at ART clinic of Tikur Anbessa Specialized University Hospital; Addis Ababa; Ethiopia during December 2005 to July 2006. The EC-clearing house's classification and diagnostic criteria for oral lesions in HIV infection was used. Written informed consent was obtained before enrollment to the study. Results A total of 384 patients; 126 (33) males and 258 (67) females were evaluated. The mean + SD age of males was 39.9 +10.56; and females was 33.17 + 8.85 years. Fifty seven (15) of the unit of analysis were smokers; 178 (46) alcohol consumers and 217(57.1) khat chewers; use tooth sticks for dental cleaning. Of which; 132 (34.7) clean their teeth at least once a day and 302 (79) gave history of recent significant weight loss. Linear regression analysis showed association of oral and peri-oral lesions with less frequent cleaning (p=0.038; p=0.03; respectively); means of cleaning (p=0.004; p=0.001); broad-spectrum antibiotic use (p=0.019; p=0.008); advanced stage of HIV (p=0.016; p=0.001) and CD4 level below 200 Cells/mm3 (p=0.001; p=0.01). The oral lesions were seen more frequently among smokers (p=0.028); heavy alcohol consumers (p=0.041); those with age above 40 years (p=0.016) and recent weight loss (p=0.001). At the level of binary logistic regression analysis smoking (p=0.005); CD4 count less than 200 (p=0.039) and stage 3 (p=0.022) and stage 4 disease (p=0.046) were found to be independent risks while daily dental cleaning habit was found to be protective (p=0.021). Conclusion Oral and peri-oral diseases among HIV/AIDS patients and are significantly associated with correctable risk factors like smoking and poor oral cleaning habits. Lesions are also frequent with evidence of advanced HIV disease and low CD4 count. These findings demonstrate the need for oral health examination and education to improve on risk behaviors and oral care in HIV/AIDS patients

ABSTRACT

Les auteurs rapportent un cas de LLC chez un adulte de 60 ans révélé par des bulles buccales à contenu hémorragique. Ils situent la place et l'importance de l'interrogatoire dans le diagnostic de cette affection. Devant la présence de ces bulles il est licite de demander un hémogramme et un myélogramme qui feront le diagnostic de certitude de l'affection. la prise en charge doit être pluridisciplinaire et repose avant tout sur une bonne préparation du terrain en milieu africain afin d'éviter des complications à type d'anguillulose maligne liée à la chimiothérapie

ABSTRACT

Le diabète est un syndrome caractérisé par une élévation du glucose sanguin. Il touche également la fonction des neutrophiles et des macrophages, la structure des vaisseaux sanguins et le métabolisme du collagène d'où son impact sur la maladie parodontale et sa considération comme facteur de risque de la maladie parodontale.Les manifestations buccales du diabète comprennent, en dehors des manifestations parodontales, une xérostomie, une sensation de brûlure de la langue, une dysgueusie et l'augmentation de la tendance à contracter des infections à Candida. Il semble que l'inflammation gingivale et le saignement, ainsi que les poches parodontales, soient plus fréquents chez ceux dont le diabète n'est pas compensé. Par ailleurs, la mauvaise hygiène associée à un état parodontal altéré risque, chez des diabétiques non compensés, d'aggraver ce syndrome. Une attitude préventive et curative s'impose, sur le plan parodontal impliquant une conduite à tenir précise. Notre travail se propose de définir l'interrelation entre diabète et état parodontal ainsi que la conduite à tenir préventive et curative qui en découle lors de la prise en charge des patients diabétiques pour des soins parodontaux

ABSTRACT

A cours de l'infection par le VIH; la maladie de Kaposi (MK) constitue la pathologie maligne la plus frequente. L'atteinte buccale; deuxieme localisation kaposienne apres l'atteinte cutanee; est la manifestation muqueuse la plus frequente de la MK associee au SIDA. Tous les elements de la cavite buccale peuvent etre touches; mais le palais represente la localisation majeure. Le diagnostic positif n'est pas difficile. Les complications du Kaposi oral sont frequentes; liees essentiellement au volume tumoral pouvant entrainer une gene fonctionnelle majeure. Le chirurgien dentiste est amene a connaitre la localisation buccale de la MK-SIDA; a faire le diagnostic precoce pouvant ainsi reveler une infection a VIH et a participer activement dans la prise en charge de cette maladie dont le traitement est essentiellement palliatif

ABSTRACT

Oral lesions associated with HIV-infection were included in the early descriptions of the disease. These oral manifestations occur frequently and at an early phase of the disease. There is evidence that some oral lesions (oral candidiasis and oral hairy leucoplakia) may be predictive of the development of AIDS in HIV-infected persons. HIV induces a defect in the patient's immune system allowing the development of opportunistic infections and neoplasms. Described in this article are the most important lesions. In the oral cavity HIV-associated lesions are of fungal; bacterial; viral neoplastic and unknown origin

ABSTRACT

The object of this paper is to prevent some of the most striking mucocutaneous manifestations of HIV infection in Botswana which were seen between 1992 and 1993. Because of their varied presentations; prognostic importance and in some cases favourable response to appropriate therapy; these manifestations of AIDS must be recognized in the day-to-day clinical practice

ABSTRACT

Cet article montre que les hemopathies malignes sont une affection a retentissement multiple; dans ce travail; les auteurs se sont interesses aux manifestations buccales; alors que l'odontologiste peut eventuellement participer au diagnostic precoce. Realisation d'une enquete sur des malades atteints d'une hemopathie de la clinique medicale du Centre Hospitalier universitaire (CHU) de l'hopital ALD. Elle leur a permis de mettre en evidence les signes les plus frequents qui doivent orienter l'odontologiste. Il a ete convenable d'evoquer entre autres hypotheses devant des gingivorragies; associees a des adenopathies cervicales; chez un patient dont l'etat de sante est deficient
