Oral Signs of Bacterial Disease

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Oral Signs of Systemic Disease

Abstract

The oral manifestations of bacterial diseases are varied ranging from nonspecific ulcers to the nearly pathognomonic strawberry tongue of scarlet fever. The bacterial diseases with oral manifestations range from the highly prevalent gingivitis/periodontitis to the much rarer diphtheria, a disease physicians in North America would not expect to encounter. This chapter covers the salient features of the following bacterial diseases with emphasis on their oral manifestations: syphilis, gonorrhea, tuberculosis, acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, scarlet fever, diphtheria, staphylococcal scalded skin, leprosy, gingivitis/periodontitis, granuloma inguinale, tularemia, and cat scratch disease.
