[Infective stomatitis of the palate].
Having on base a wide and selective review of the literature, it has seemed to us interesting to detail the infective pathology on this location or sometimes occurring. This region is, as well will see, the seat of a rich pathology. We pretend on the other hand to reassess the importance of the meticulous examination of the oral cavity in "systemic problems". We describe the palatal infections divided in four groups: bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitory, according to the causal agent. We review the palatine manifestations of other fewer current syndromes as well.
