Oral manifestations of selected sexually related conditions.
The incidence of certain microbial infections occurring in the oropharynx is well documented, but infection by other pathogens, although highly probable, has not been established with certainty. Considerable recent interest in the incubation period of various infections and improved community surveillance programs combine to ascribe infection to specific incidents. It is prudent for health care personnel to acknowledge the presence of many sexually transmitted diseases in the oropharynx and consider them in the differential diagnosis of many well-established conditions.
