Sometimes the lips, the gums and the tongue can simultaneously be involved, and some authors have described this triad as a syndrome ("plasma-cell gingivostomatitis"). [3] The mucous membranes of the genitals can also be involved by a similar condition, termed " plasma cell balanitis " [ 2 ] or " plasma cell vulvitis ".
Signs and symptoms may include: Persistent or recurrent enlargement of the lips, causing them to protrude. If recurrent, the interval during which the lips are enlarged may be weeks or months. The enlargement can cause midline fissuring of the lip ("median cheilitis") or angular cheilitis (sores at the corner of the
The red-sided garter snakes have an upper row of well-defined red spots, and lower row with patches of red color that smear on the dark area on either side of their back. [6] These snakes have multiple yellow stripes present on their body. Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis is sexually dimorphic, where females are usually larger than males. [4]
Signs and symptoms are dependent upon the type of oral candidiasis. Often, apart from the appearance of the lesions, there are usually no other signs or symptoms. Most types of oral candidiasis are painless, but a burning sensation may occur in some cases. [8] Candidiasis can, therefore, sometimes be misdiagnosed as burning mouth syndrome.
The eastern garter snake is broadly considered non-venomous. Garter snakes do have a Duvernoy's gland, and the secretion from the gland may be chewed into prey during bites. The secretion is noted to cause hemorrhaging in mice and has produced non-allergic symptoms in at least one bite on a human. [3] [4] [5]
The median time interval between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis was 6 years, with a range of 26 days to 14 years. This suggests that the symptoms of MAGIC syndrome may manifest relatively long after the initial onset of symptoms. During the course of MAGIC syndrome, the signs and symptoms of BD may typically occur before those of RP. [4]
Aphthous stomatitis, [2] or recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), commonly referred to as a canker sore or salt blister, is a common condition characterized by the repeated formation of benign and non-contagious mouth ulcers (aphthae) in otherwise healthy individuals.
Xerostomia itself has many possible causes, but commonly the cause may be side effects of medications, or conditions such as Sjögren's syndrome. Conversely, conditions which cause drooling or sialorrhoea (excessive salivation) can cause angular cheilitis by creating a constant wet environment in the corners of the mouth.
