Question 135 · LDEK · Periodontal and oral mucosal diseases in children
A 14-month-old child has been fretful for a couple of days and his body temperature is elevated. Two days before a dental visit, a redness of the oral mucosa and edema of the gingiva appeared. Soon small vesicles occurred. At the visit, there are oral ulcers with erythematous margins. The most probable diagnosis is:
- A. infectious mononucleosis.
- B. varicella.
- C. signs and symptoms related to teeth eruption.
- D. herpangina.
- E. primary herpetic gingivostomatitis.
Hint
Note the infant's age, the fever and irritability, and that the gingiva becomes red and swollen before vesicles break into ulcers.
