Probiotics revisited

摘要

An etiology of herpes simplex virus is not supported by the clinical history and appearance of the gingiva and mucosa. Vitamin B3 deficiency is not associated with these oral findings. Increased use of an alcohol-based mouthwash is contraindicated due to the absence of local irritants and potential to exacerbate symptoms. Other mucocutaneous diseases, such as pemphigus vulgaris and mucous membrane pemphigoid, may present similarly, and biopsy of the affected tissue can establish the diagnosis.
