“…Capnocytophaga, formerly Bacteroides ochraceus, for instance is such a Gram-negative, carbon dioxide dependent anaerobic oral inhabitant, which is characterized by its gliding motility on the surface of certain agar media. Capnocytophaga is frequently associated with periodontal disease and with pulp necrosis (Atteberg et al 1980, van Palenstein Helderman 1981. Recently, this bacterium has been recognized as an important cause of septicemia associated with oral inflammation in patients who have a form of malignancy with granulocytopenia (Editorial 1980, Forlenza et al 1980.…”

The review presented here covers metastatic local and systemic disease secondary to the accumulation of plaque or the formation of other pathogenic microbial depots in the mouth. At least 3 pathways may link oral infection to secondary disease, to wit metastatic infection due to transient bacteremia, metastatic immunological injury, and metastatic toxic injury. The available evidence is presented and examples are provided. They concern among others such divergent diseases as acute bacterial myocarditis, infective endocarditis, brain abscess, uveitis and iridocyclitis, trigeminal and atypical facial neuralgia, unilateral facial paralysis, fever of "unknown' origin, and neutrophil dysfunction.
