“…Since the study carried out by the Hospital Alemán was based on the Sabin Feldman Dye Test, a more sensitive test than the one used in the present work, this could not account for the difference observed. A possible explanation is that Chascomús is a rural area which was demonstrated to be a risk factor for T. gondii infection as observed by others (Rostami et al., 2016) (Wilking et al., 2016). In the city of Chascomús only part of the individuals are linked to rural activities, independent of the area where they live, and it could be observed that the seroprevalence among people with farm or rural activities in comparison with individuals that never had any relationship with rural activities was not significantly different (Table 2).…”

Infection with Toxoplasma gondii is very common in humans throughout the world, the intake of raw or undercooked meat with tissue cysts and fruits, vegetables and water contaminated with parasite oocysts being the main routes of infection. Here, we analyzed the seroprevalence of anti-T. gondii antibodies in pregnant females (age 13–44 years; n = 920) between April 2014 and December 2017 from Chascomús (Argentina), a city immersed in a rural area. Altogether 320 tested positive for immunoglobulin G antibodies, yielding an overall seroprevalence of 34.8% (CI 95%: 31.7–37.9). No association was observed between seropositivity and age. In addition, by using the QGIS 3.2.1 software we analyzed the geographical distribution of 769 (83.6%) pregnant females in two main areas of the city: Urban (n = 157) and Peri-urban (n = 612) with a seroprevalence of 26.8% (CI 95%: 19.8–33.7) and 36.4% (CI 95%: 32.6–40.3) respectively, and this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.023). Furthermore, we assessed through a questionnaire survey, between April 2016 to December 2017, possible risk factors such as activity (urban and rural), home water supply, animal husbandry, presence of cats as pets, gardening and consumption of meat and its derivatives (pork, sheep meat and sausages) and their frequencies (consumption per week), not finding significant association with seropositivity. Significant differences was found when the seroprevalence was analyzed between the urban and peri-urban neighborhoods of the city of Chascomús. The higher seroprevalence in peri-urban neighborhoods could be due to an unfavorable socioeconomic situation and/or to undeveloped peri-urban environments, which is a risk factor that should be taken into account when planning the health care of pregnant females.

“…Periodontal immunity includes overlapping innate and adaptive cellular and humoral responses , which, together with indigenous oral microbes , aim at controlling invading pathogens. In turn, periodontopathic bacteria and herpesviruses in marginal periodontitis (recent publications: ) and apical periodontitis (recent publications: ) elaborate a variety of defense mechanisms to circumvent or disrupt protective host immune reactions .…”

This volume of Periodontology 2000 represents the 25th anniversary of the Journal, and uses the occasion to assess important advancements in periodontology over the past quarter-century as well as the hurdles that remain. Periodontitis is defined by pathologic loss of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. The disease involves complex dynamic interactions among active herpesviruses, specific bacterial pathogens and destructive immune responses. Periodontal diagnostics is currently based on clinical rather than etiologic criteria, and provides limited therapeutic guidance. Periodontal causative treatment consists of scaling, antiseptic rinses and occasionally systemic antibiotics, and surgical intervention has been de-emphasized, except perhaps for the most advanced types of periodontitis. Plastic surgical therapy includes soft-tissue grafting to cover exposed root surfaces and bone grafting to provide support for implants. Dental implants are used to replace severely diseased or missing teeth, but implant overuse is of concern. The utility of laser treatment for periodontitis remains unresolved. Host modulation and risk-factor modification therapies may benefit select patient groups. Patient self-care is a critical part of periodontal health care, and twice-weekly oral rinsing with 0.10-0.25% sodium hypochlorite constitutes a valuable adjunct to conventional anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis treatments. A link between periodontal herpesviruses and systemic diseases is a strong biological plausibility. In summary, research during the past 25 years has significantly changed our concepts of periodontitis pathobiology and has produced more-effective and less-costly therapeutic options.

“…EBV and CMV often co-exist in marginal and apical periodontitis. A recent study reported that EBV could induce gingivitis and/or periodontitis in an immune permissive environment, such as in organ transplanted patients 19 . Oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) is a disease of the mucosa associated with EBV infection and developing mostly in HIV infected patients, as well as in HIV-negative patients with organ transplants or immunocompromising diseases.…”

Highlights An enanthem is a mucosal eruption that precede, follow or occur simultaneously with an exanthem. Enanthems may be triggered by an underlying infection or a drug received by the patient or both. Patterns are: vesicular, macular, maculo-papular, maculo-papular-petechial, and petechial. Erythemato-vesicular and petechial patterns are the most frequent in adults. Some enanthems are pathognomonic for a disease as Koplik's spots for measles.
