Abstract
The diagnosis of oral lesions in children can be challenging as it can be an unspecified symptom of several diseases. Differential diagnoses can range from infectious diseases of childhood, inflammations, nutritional deficiencies, and chronic diseases. Because of this, children with oral ulcers may be treated by different specialists such as pediatric dentists and pediatricians. The purpose of this poster is to report the case of a twenty-one-month-old female patient who presented to Children’s Mercy Hospital Kansas City Emergency Department with chief concern for acute onset of intraoral oral ulcers, extraoral blisters near the lower lip, and fetid oral odor. Patient has a complex contributory medical history. This poster presents a review of the literature regarding various diseases associated with oral ulcers along with the potential development of acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
