HERPETIC STOMATITIS IN CHILDREN WITH PHYSIOTHERAPY METHODS

Abstract

Acute herpetic stomatitis is one of the clinical manifestations of primary herpetic infection. The spread of the disease in 71% at the age of 1 to 3 years is explained by the fact that at this age, antibodies received from the mother interplacentally disappear in children, as well as the lack of mature systems of specific immunity and the leading role of nonspecific protection. Among older children, the incidence is significantly lower due to acquired immunity after a herpetic infection in its various clinical manifestations. The structure of the oral mucosa in children of different ages and the activity of local tissue immunity are of great importance for herpetic infection, which manifests itself mainly in the oral cavity. The greatest prevalence of acute herpetic stomatitis in the period up to 3 years may be due to age–morphological indicators indicating a high permeability of histohematic barriers during this period and a decrease in morphological reactions of immunity: thin epithelial cover with low levels of glycogen and ribonucleic acids, friability and low differentiation of the basement membrane and fibrous structures of connective tissue (abundant vascularization, high the level of mast cells with their low functional activity, etc.).
