Oral focal epithelial hyperplasia: report of five cases.

Focal epithelial hyperplasia or Heck's disease is a rare contagious disease caused by human papillomavirus types 13 or 32, initially described among Native American populations. This condition is characterized by the occurrence of multiple small papules or nodules in oral cavity, especially on labial and buccal mucosa and tongue. This report describes the diagnosis of focal epithelial hyperplasia in five Central Amazonian Indians who sought treatment at the Amazonas State Foundation of Tropical Medicine (FMT-AM), using clinical criteria, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing.

[Clinical and diagnostic aspects of American tegumentary leishmaniosis in soldiers simultaneously exposed to the infection in the Amazon Region].

Military exercises in the forest of the Amazon region constitute an important factor in the incidence of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in this region. This report describes 48 cases of American tegumentary leishmaniosis. All these patients acquired the disease after military exercises in the Amazon. The mean incubation time was 27.6 days. The lesions were predominantly in the upper extremities, face and neck. The majority of patients presented two lesions. Ulcers were the most common clinical manifestation. The diagnosis was obtained through skin smears of the lesions. A total of 43 cases (89.6 %) were found to be positive.
