helicobacter pylori colonization of tongue mucosa increased incidence in atrophic Glossitis and burning mouth syndrome bms
Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine, 2001Co-Authors: Koraljka Galltroselj, Marinka Mravakstipetic, Igor Jurak, William Lauman Ragland, Jasminka PavelicAbstract:Abstract: Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori in tongue mucosa in 268 patients divided into four groups according to their diagnosis: 87 with atrophic Glossitis, 37 with benign migratory Glossitis and 144 with burning mouth syndrome (BMS). The latter group was subdivided according to anatomic site of burning sensation: subgroup A (54 patients) with complaints limited to tongue and subgroup B (90 patients) with burning sensations in other parts of oral mucosa. H. pylori was found in 43 samples (16%). Bacteria were significantly less present in tongue mucosa affected with benign migratory Glossitis compared with atrophic Glossitis and BMS (P=0.025). This difference was more obvious when compared with atrophic Glossitis only (P=0.006). Mucosal changes in these conditions might make the oral environment more acceptable for H. pylori colonization compared with normal mucosa, and this mechanism may play a role in its oro-oral transmission.

herpetic geometric Glossitis in an immunocompetent patient with pneumonia
Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 2009Co-Authors: Ginat W Mirowski, Allison GoddardAbstract:Herpetic geometric Glossitis is an uncommon, clinically distinctive presentation of oral herpes simplex virus infection that affects the tongue. All published reports have been in patients who are immunocompromised. We present an immunocompetent woman with viral pneumonia who developed painful linear fissures on the back of the tongue suggestive of herpetic geometric Glossitis. The diagnosis was confirmed by both biopsy specimen and immunohistochemistry. As in other cases, the patient promptly responded to treatment with antiviral therapy. The morphology, laboratory findings, and similarities to herpetic corneal dendrites are discussed. Herpetic geometric Glossitis should no longer be considered as a diagnosis only in immunosuppressed individuals, but in immunocompetent persons as well.

herpetic geometric Glossitis in a pediatric patient with acute myelogenous leukemia
American Journal of Clinical Oncology, 1997Co-Authors: Alexandra Theriault, Philip R CohenAbstract:Herpetic geometric Glossitis, a recently described form of lingual herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection, has been reported in 6 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients and I cardiac transplant patient who was receiving immunosuppressant therapy. An HIV-seronegative immunocompromised pediatric patient with acute myelogenous leukemia who developed herpetic geometric Glossitis is described. Herpetic geometric Glossitis can present in both adult and pediatric immunocompromised patients. The symptoms, morphology, laboratory findings and treatment of this infection are summarized. The possible consequences of untreated herpetic Glossitis include superinfection and undernourishment. Although previously described patients responded to 1000 mg per day (divided in 5 doses) of oral acyclovir, with complete resolution of fissures, this patient developed herpetic geometric Glossitis while receiving acyclovir and required higher doses of oral antiviral therapy (acyclovir, 3000 mg/day divided in 5 doses) to treat his HSV-I lingual infection. Empiric treatment of an immunocompromised patient who has newly acquired painful tongue fissures or furrows with systemic acyclovir should be considered.

Herpetic geometric Glossitis: a distinctive pattern of lingual herpes simplex virus infection.
Southern Medical Journal, 1995Co-Authors: Philip R Cohen, Salahuddin Kazi, M. E. GrossmanAbstract:Two immunocompromised patients with herpetic geometric Glossitis, a clinically distinctive form of lingual herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 infection, are described. The significant features of herpetic geometric Glossitis are summarized, the clinical differential diagnosis of this form of HSV infection is reviewed, and the possible pathogenesis of these lingual lesions is discussed. Both of our patients, as well as all previously described patients with this condition, had extremely painful cross-hatched, branched, and/or linear fissures on the dorsal aspect of the tongue. Symptoms promptly resolved within 1 to 2 days, and the fissures subsequently healed within 3 to 12 days after systemic acyclovir therapy was initiated. In contrast to tongue lesions of herpetic geometric Glossitis, similar-appearing lingual lesions of other conditions are usually asymptomatic. The similar morphology of corneal dendrites in herpetic epithelial keratitis and linear fissures in herpetic geometric Glossitis suggest the possibility that these HSV mucosal lesions may have a common pathogenesis.
