Characterized by an immune reaction to medications, toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Steven-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) are potentially fatal mucocutaneous reactions, and their management remains challenging. Considering the promising studies regarding the use of laser in managing orofacial lesions, this study aimed to report two cases in which children presenting with TEN and SJS were treated using a combination of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) concurrently with conventional supportive care. The treatment proposed herein resulted in significant clinical improvement of the children's oral condition within a few days, enabling the reintroduction of oral feeding. Within the limitations of the study, the cases reported suggest that the adjuvant combination of PBMT and aPDT may be beneficial for improving the oral condition of children afflicted with oral injuries induced by TEN and SJS.

In the present case report, a patient with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) developed a second primary tumor in the tongue at the same time. Stage III middle esophageal SCC was discovered in a 60-year-old Caucasian male patient who was institutionalized, a smoker, and had previously struggled with alcoholism. Following treatment, the patient was admitted to the hospital for 15 days due to dysphagia and malnutrition. According to him, he had mouth pain while in the hospital. An intraoral examination revealed tooth mobility, bacterial plaque, dental calculus, and a 1.3-cm ulcerated lesion on the right lateral edge of the tongue. During the extraoral examination, no palpable lymph nodes were found in the submandibular or cervical regions. The tongue lesion was excisionally biopsied, and the histological evaluation agreed. The patient was advised to seek treatment for tongue SCC. Given that patients with esophageal SCC have a 9.3%-11.4% risk of developing head-and-neck SCC, multiprofessional follow-up of patients with esophageal SCC is critical for early detection of this cancer.
RESUMO
Lesão por pressão relacionada a dispositivos médicos é uma complicação bastante comum e geralmente oriunda da fixação do dispositivo utilizado na intubação endotraqueal para ventilação mecânica. Desta forma, o presente estudo reportou o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino, 65 anos, leucoderma, internado em uma unidade de terapia intensiva, e que desenvolveu lesão ulcerada na região de fixação do dispositivo utilizado para intubação orotraqueal. Após alívio da pressão local exercida, terapia de fotobiomodulação foi proposta como única estratégia para cicatrização da lesão e diminuição do edema. Após 3 sessões diárias foi possível observar excelente curso de reparação tecidual e remissão dos sinais flogísticos. De acordo com o presente caso, a terapia de fotobiomodulação parece ser bastante eficiente para o tratamento de lesões por pressão relacionada a dispositivos médicos(AU)
Medical device-related pressure injuries are very common complications and usually arise from the fixation of the device used in endotracheal intubation for mechanical ventilation. Thus, the present study reports a case of a Caucasian male patient, 65 years old, who was admitted to an intensive care unit and developed later an ulcerated lesion on the region of fixation of the device used for orotracheal intubation. After relieving the local pressure exerted, photobiomodulation therapy was proposed as the only strategy for wound healing and edema reduction. After 3 daily sessions, it was possible to note an excellent tissue repair course and remission of phlogistic signs. According to the present case, photobiomodulation therapy appears to be a quite efficient treatment strategy for medical device-related pressure injuries(AU)

BACKGROUND: Secondary infections of leishmaniasis and histoplasmosis in patients with advanced HIV are still a concern in low- and middle-income countries. The most common drugs for the treatment of both infections may be problematic mainly due to their toxicity. AIM AND CASE REPORT: The present study aimed to report a case in which a concurrent oral manifestation of leishmaniasis and histoplasmosis in a hospitalized patient with HIV was managed with a combination of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an adjuvant treatment. In addition to the use of conventional systemic oral drugs, a single aPDT session followed by two PBMT sessions was proposed, which resulted in complete wound healing within four days. CONCLUSION: Given the complexity of the current case, PBMT in combination with aPDT may be considered as an effective adjuvant option for managing oral infectious lesions of histoplasmosis and leishmaniasis in immunocompromised patients.

BACKGROUND: The management of patients with Monkeypox (MPX) infection is generally symptomatic as there has been no approved antiviral drug so far. Despite being generally a self-limited disease, some complications may be encountered such as severe pain and the formation of permanent skin scarring. AIM: To present a case report in which a combination of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) was used for a large facial cutaneous lesion in an MPX patient. CASE REPORT: A 20-year-old Caucasian man presenting with a large, painful, grayish, rubbery, well-circumscribed, deep-seated, and umbilicated ulcer on his face was treated with four daily sessions of PBMT and two sessions of aPDT every other day. Within a day, the patient's pain complaint was no longer present and a crust central area was visible. On the 4th day of laser treatment, the wound almost completely disappeared, leaving a small reddish area free of inflammation or infection signs and without unaesthetic skin scarring. CONCLUSION: Given the lack of specific strategies for the management of severe MPX-related skin lesions, the current case report suggests that the concomitant use of PMBT and aPDT seems to be a promising therapeutic approach. The most appropriate laser parameters, however, should be further investigated in future studies in order to establish an effective and reliable clinical protocol.

Burn injuries are of serious concern worldwide not only because of the physical impact but also because of severe mental and emotional distress and reduced quality of life. The usual management comprises topical and systemic medications, and supportive care; however, conventional therapy may be expensive and insufficient for many cases. Thus, we describe herein a unique case in which a low-level laser was used concomitantly with the conventional approach for the management of head and neck burn wounds and could improve the patient's clinical condition within a short period.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Erythema multiforme (EM) is a reactive mucocutaneous disorder typically initiated by viral infections. Although the management of EM differs according to the clinical course and trigger factor, it is not clear whether antiviral suppressive therapies may be useful in cases related to such infections. Moreover, the treatment is most often based on supportive care directed towards only the symptoms. AIM: To present a clinical case of a child in which antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) were used for orofacial manifestations of EM secondary to viral infections. CASE REPORT: A Brazilian 1-year-old boy was admitted to an ICU due to a severe Influenza A H3N2 infection, pneumonia with pleural effusion, and sepsis. About 10 days later, it was noted bleeding lip lesions covered by crusts and bleeding tongue lesions, diagnosed as EM secondary to both H3N2 and herpes simplex virus infections, confirmed by serology tests. A combination of an aPDT session and six PBMT sessions was proposed and resulted in almost complete resolution of the lesion on the 7th day. CONCLUSION: Given the complexity of the present case, the combination of phototherapies seems to be a promising tool for treating acute orofacial mucosal lesions of viruses-induced EM. More studies, however, are needed to reach a definite conclusion.

Accidents involving dental prostheses are unusual but relevant, which may result in complications in the upper respiratory airways and esophagus. A 47-year-old male patient with Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD), completely dependent on care, was reported by his family to have a partial obstruction and intraoral bleeding after swallowing his upper Removable Partial Denture (RPD). After difficulties in the endoscopy procedure, a surgical approach by exploratory cervicotomy to remove the prosthetic device was conducted, without postoperative complications. Considering individual impairments and the patients' advanced age, the removal of dental prostheses during sleep or for patients under intensive care is a preventive strategy to reduce comorbidities in patients with unstable health conditions.
