Gaining More Insight into the Determinants of Species Pathogenicity in the Oral Cavity

European Journal of Inflammation, 2014
Candida infection (candidiasis) is potentially life threatening and can occur in almost all anatomical sites, including the mouth. Candida species are in fact the most common fungal pathogens isolated from the oral cavity and frequently cause superficial

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Fluconazole‐Induced Fixed Drug Eruption With Cross‐Reactivity to Clotrimazole—Confirmation With Patch Testing [PDF]

Case Reports in Dermatological Medicine
First described in 1994, fixed drug eruption (FDE) to fluconazole is uncommon but possibly underdiagnosed. Of these, women with vaginal candidiasis remain the most affected, with on average more than four occurrences prior to diagnosis. We present a case of a 29‐year‐old female who presented after her third episode of an itchy, oedematous, blistering ...

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...
