Human viruses play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease due to their intrinsec capacity to interfere with immune system of the host. Herpesvirus maybe involved in the onset or progress of a number of periodontal diseases while HIV seems to be related to the linear gingival erythema (LGE) and necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis (NUP).
人类病毒在牙周病的发病机制中起着重要作用，因为它们具有干扰宿主免疫系统的内在能力。疱疹病毒可能参与多种牙周病的发生或进展，而艾滋病毒似乎与线性牙龈红斑（LGE）和坏死性溃疡性牙周炎（NUP）有关。
