Most viral infections encountered in resource‐rich countries are relatively trivial and transient with perhaps fever, malaise, myalgia, rash (exanthema) and sometimes mucosal manifestations (enanthema), including oral in some. However, the apparent benignity may be illusory as some viral infections have unexpected consequences – such as the oncogenicity of some herpesviruses and human papillomaviruses. Infections are transmitted from various human or animal vectors, especially by close proximity, and the increasing movements of peoples across the globe, mean that infections hitherto confined largely to the tropics now appear worldwide. Global warming also increases the range of movement of vectors such as mosquitoes. Thus recent decades have seen a most dramatic change with the emergence globally also of new viral infections – notably human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) – and the appearance of some other dangerous and sometimes lethal infections formerly seen mainly in, and reported from, resource‐poor areas especially in parts of Asia, Latin America and Africa. This study offers a brief update of the most salient new aspects of the important viral infections, especially those with known orofacial manifestations or other implications for oral health care.

Background:The prevalence studies on common pediatric oral lesions (POLs) are still rare compared with those on dental caries and periodontal diseases. POLs vary among different geographic regions, age, racial and lifestyle of each population. The purpose of this study was to determine the most common 5 POLs referred to 5 different dental and medical branches in Middle Nile Delta, Egypt. Materials and methods:A qualitative study design was used depending on expert opinions on oral lesions in children (aged 0-14 years). A total of 1164 dental and medical staff members, dentists and physicians at the hospitals of Universities and Ministry of Health, and Specialized Medical Centers & hospitals in the Middle Nile Delta region were included. The target population of the study was experts in 5 branches: Pedodontics, Oral Medicine and Periodontology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Pediatrics, and Dermatology and Venereology. Data were collected using a checklist including the common diseases within the scope of the study and each expert was asked to give percentages for children seen with each disease entity in his/her branch. Data analysis: Data were statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 19. For each disease, the number and percentage were calculated and differences between observation recorded by health care workers in University and Ministry of Health were tested by chi-square test. P values < 0.05 were considered significant. Results:The most common 5 lesions in Middle Nile Delta region were herpes infection (70.1%), candidiasis (69.2%), aphthous ulcer (67.3%), geographic tongue (56.1%), and acute dental abscess (49.7%). According to each branch; in Pedodontics; acute dental abscess (95.5%), pulp polyp (94.5%), parulis (88.6%), herpes infection (82.7%), and acute pericoronitis (82.3%) were recorded. In Oral Medicine and Periodontology; herpes infection (95.5%) was on the top, followed by physiologic pigmentation (83.5%), candidiasis (76.8%), aphthous ulcer (75.0%), and geographic tongue (70.5%), while in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; acute dental abscess (68.1%), acute pericoronitis (59.2%), odontoma (55.0%), eruption cyst (49.2%), and hemangioma (46.7%) were recorded. In the Pediatric branch; the top lesion was candidiasis (96.2%), followed (928)
