Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Streptococcal gingivostomatitis is a rare phenomenon in a non-compromised host and not commonly reported in the dental literature. Early diagnosis and distinction from viral infections, especially HSV infection, are of the utmost importance. The early use of penicillin is essential in preventing a cascade of events, resulting in severe fasciitis, destruction of tissues, and subsequent rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease.
METHODS: A unique case of group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection affecting the pharynx, lower lip, and gingiva of a healthy 19-year-old male is presented.
RESULTS: The streptococcal infection was responsive to penicillin treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: In view of the increased use of antibiotics and the development of aggressive strains, the dental clinician has to consider streptococcal infection in the differential diagnosis of gingival and soft tissue infections.
