Apparent massive tongue swelling. A complication of orotracheal intubation on the Intensive Care Unit.

The trachea of an 81-year-old woman was intubated with an orotracheal tube for emergency abdominal surgery and the tube was left in place for postoperative management on the Intensive Care Unit. After 36 h, she developed apparent massive tongue swelling. On closer examination, a normal sized tongue was found to be displayed by oedema of the floor of the mouth and submandibular space, secondary to purulent sialadenitis from right submandibular duct obstruction by the tracheal tube.

Geographic tongue--a manifestation of atopy.

One hundred patients with geographic tongue have been studied for evidence of an association with atopy. There was a significantly high frequency of personal and/or family history of asthma, eczema and hay fever amongst the patients when compared to a control population. A raised total serum IgE( greater than or equal to 200 u/ml) was significantly more frequent in patients compared to a control population. These findings confirm the impression that in some patients geographic tongue is a sign of atopy.

Mitotic phase distribution in oral epithelial hyperplasia and neoplasia.

Assessment of mitotic phase distribution in oral epithelial lesions has shown closely similar features in two categories of hyperplastic condition. By contrast, squamous cell carcinomas showed a significantly different mitotic phase distribution with an increased proportion of metaphases suggesting delay or blockage at this phase. Squamous cell papillomas showed an increased proportion of prometaphase mitoses.

Prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in children and youths in the USA.

INTRODUCTION: There is a dearth of studies of oral lesions in children and youths using probability samples of a general population. The present paper describes the results of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-1994 (NHANES III), and compares them to those of the National Survey of Oral Health in US Schoolchildren, 1986-1987. METHODS: The NHANES III was a large US study based on a multistage probability sample. Dentist examiners were trained to recognize, classify and record, in a standard manner, the clinical characteristics of each of the 48 conditions of interest using procedures based on the World Health Organization's Guide to Epidemiology and Diagnosis of Oral Mucosal Diseases. RESULTS: Examinations were performed on 10,030 individuals (10.26%) aged between 2 and 17 years, 914 of whom had a total of 976 lesions. The lip was the most frequent site of lesions (30.7%), followed by the dorsum of the tongue (14.7%) and the buccal mucosa (13.6%). Lesions were more prevalent in males (11.76%) than females (8.67%). The most prevalent lesions were lip/cheek bite (1.89%), followed by aphthous stomatitis (1.64%), recurrent herpes labialis (1.42%) and geographic tongue (1.05%). The prevalence of recurrent aphthous stomatitis in the NHANES III child and youth survey was substantially higher than that for adults, while the NHANES III adult estimates for geographic tongue (1.85%; 95% CI 1.42, 2.28) and cheek/lip bite (3.05%; 95% CI 2.36, 3.74) were substantially greater than those for children and youths (0.97% and 2.05%, respectively). CONCLUSION: Reported prevalences for rare conditions in other studies employing more selected samples (especially if standard errors or confidence intervals are not provided) should be interpreted with caution. Studies of adult populations, however valid, may have limited applicability to children.

Differences in methodologies of measuring the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in children and adolescents.

AIM: This review offers a brief summary of three of the more commonly surveyed and reported oral mucosal conditions found in children, and an appraisal of the variation between selected elements of prevalence study methodologies. DESIGN: Searches of electronic databases (i.e. MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE and EBM Reviews) were conducted to find publications related to oral mucosal conditions in children. Studies were included and reviewed if they contained data on the prevalence of any of the following oral mucosal conditions: geographical tongue, oral ulceration and herpes labialis in children or adolescents (up to the age of 19 years). RESULTS: A total of 29 articles out of 333 met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Of these 29 reports, 18 considered geographical tongue, 12 herpes labialis and 10 oral ulceration, although a number of the surveys reported on more than one condition. The approaches used in these studies varied on a number of the potentially important areas associated with validity, comparability, and whether or not the findings may be extrapolated beyond the study population, such as the sampling frame, diagnostic criteria, training and calibration, and examination features. CONCLUSION: Although there were a number of surveys relating to the prevalence of geographical tongue, herpes labialis and oral ulcers in children and adolescents, reported prevalences varied and few studies were directly comparable in terms of the methodology applied. In particular, there was substantial variation between surveys in terms of the diagnostic criteria and method of detection employed although, in many instances, there was inadequate detail to allow full appraisal of the methodology. There is a need for more good-quality epidemiological studies in this area.

HLA antigens in geographic tongue.

HLA-A,B,C phenotyping was performed on 95 patients with geographic tongue to determine whether there is an increased frequency of any particular allele in this condition. An increased frequency of B15 was found in the patients when compared to normal controls. When the patients were divided into atopic and non-atopic groups there was an increased frequency of B15 and a decreased frequency of B40 in the atopic group compared to the controls. B40 was as decreased in the atopic group when compared to the non-atopic group. When the type I correction factor was applied to the probability values the differences in antigen frequencies in all cases became insignificant.

Diabetes mellitus as a contributory factor in oral candidosis.

It has been reported that poor glycaemic control predisposes to oral candidal infection in diabetic patients. For instance, the carriage of Candida species and the density of candidal growth in the oral cavity is frequently claimed to be increased in patients with diabetes mellitus. However, the validity of these observations remains controversial. Hence, we review and discuss here the clinical data in the literature on the relationship between diabetes and oral candidal carriage and infection, and possible mechanisms associated with its pathogenicity.
