FEATURES OF THE CLINICAL COURSE OF VINCENT'S ULCERATIVE NECROTIZING GINGIVOSTOMATITIS

Аннотация

Ulcerative necrotizing gingivostomatitis (YANG) is an acute inflammatory disease of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and gums, characterized by the formation of ulcers and necrotic areas. The main causative agents of YANG are bacteria of the genus Fusobacterium and spirochaetes of the genus Treponema, which is confirmed by numerous studies. The disease is most often found in people with weakened immune systems, such as patients with HIV infection, as well as in patients with leukemia, agranulocytosis, tuberculosis, syphilis and other diseases of the blood and immune system. Under normal conditions, fusospirilli and Vincent's spirochaetes are saprophytes of the oral cavity, they are found in the crypts of the palatine tonsils, in teeth and gingival pockets.
