Pre-operative diagnosis for dermatoses due to tonsillar focal infections: recent views.

The recent views on the pre-operative diagnosis for dermatoses possibly due to tonsillar focal infections were presented as follows: 1) the range of dermatoses which may be related to tonsillar focal infection and may be indications for tonsillectomy, was introduced based on a questionnaire sent to departments of dermatology and otorhinolaryngology throughout Japan; 2) provocation test using direct stimulation with ultra-short waves and inhibition test with Impletol for the pre-operative diagnosis in patients with Pustulosis palmaris et plantaris, which appears to have a relatively high prevalence and the highest possibility of induction by tonsillar focal infection; 3) the selection of timing of the tonsillectomy in patients with Pustulosis palmaris et plantaris; and 4) the necessity of diagnostic and therapeutic alliance between dermatologists and otorhinolaryngologists.

Focal infection: a new perspective on an old theory.

In recent years, the controversial focal infection theory (originally presented in the early 1900s) has received a resurgence of support, as oral infections have been linked to several systemic conditions. This article reviews pertinent literature detailing both the historical basis of the focal infection theory and current viewpoints on the possible association between oral and systemic diseases. Dental professionals should be aware of the potential negative effects of oral infections on systemic health. While endodontically treated teeth have not been implicated in systemic disease, effective treatment regimens for periodontal disease may reduce the occurrence of systemic disease for certain individuals.
