Children's infections of the orofacial region in everyday practice represent an
important percentage of pathology. They can be a very serious problem for the
doctor-practioners regarding both diagnostics and indications for an adequate
therapy and intervention. The herpes simplex virus causes diseases of sin and
mucus of children and adults. The changes are accompanied with local and general
symptoms. Only 10 to 15% of primary infections are manifested with clinically
distinct symptoms. The primary changes are evident on oral mucus. They are
characterized by a triad symptoms, namely, generalized cataral gingvitis, a
coated tongue and erosions dispersed all over oral epithelium. The aim of the
paper was to confirm, in addition to clinically manifested symptoms, the
diagnosis by the paraclinic parameters. By the laboratory blood analysis the
values of hemoglobin, leukocytes and lymphocytes as well as the color of
erythrocytes are obtained; they are different from the normal values for the
excamined children structure. In the blood there are also virocytes discovered
as proofs of the virus etiology of the disease. On the basis of the obtained
results the diagnosis can be confirmed with surety and an adequate therapy can
be carried out. Acta Medica Medianae 2003; 42(1):17-20.
