INTRODUCTION: Erythema multiforme is a hypersensitivity reaction caused by various factors, such as viruses, chemicals, and drugs. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) or vape is a battery-powered nicotine delivery device that substitutes for traditional cigarettes. The chemical components of vaping, including propylene glycol and nicotine, can cause hypersensitivity reactions. OBJECTIVE: To report a case of oral erythema multiforme in an e-cigarettes user, treatment, and review the literature regarding the impact of these devices on oral health. CLINICAL CASE: A 22-year-old woman came to the Oral Medicine Department with complaints of stomatitis causing pain, eating, and drinking difficulty, which started with fever and pimple-like on the lips. She was an active vape user for one year. Extraoral examination revealed no lesions on other body parts. The serosanguinolent crusts on the lips, an erosive area on the labial commissures and tended to bleed. Intraoral examination revealed white ulcers with yellowish edges and irregular, varying sizes in several parts of the oral mucosa. The anti-HSV-1 IgG laboratory results showed non-reactive, leading to a diagnosis of oral erythema multiforme. Management of oral conditions using 0.9% NaCl compress, dexamethasone mouthwash, and hyaluronic acid, applying 2% miconazole cream on labial commissures and vaseline album cream on the dry lips, and stopping vaping. Oral condition improved in a week of therapy. CONCLUSION: Erythema multiforme restricted to the mouth is rare, especially associated with electronic cigarettes. Early identification of oral ulcerative disorders is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment, where clinicians should consider oral erythema multiforme as a possible diagnosis.
引言:多形红斑是由多种因素引起的超敏反应,如病毒、化学物质和药物。电子烟是一种由电池供电的尼古丁输送装置,可替代传统香烟。电子烟的化学成分,包括丙二醇和尼古丁,可引起超敏反应。 目的:报告一例电子烟使用者发生的口腔多形红斑病例、治疗情况,并复习有关这些装置对口腔健康影响的文献。 临床病例:一名22岁女性因口腔炎前来口腔医学科就诊,主诉口腔炎引起疼痛、进食和饮水困难,起病时伴有发热和唇部丘疹样病变。她是一名活跃的电子烟使用者,已有一年时间。口腔外检查显示身体其他部位无病变。唇部有血清血性痂皮,口角有糜烂区且容易出血。口腔内检查发现口腔黏膜多个部位有边缘发黄、大小不一、形状不规则的白色溃疡。抗单纯疱疹病毒1型IgG实验室检查结果为阴性,诊断为口腔多形红斑。采用0.9%氯化钠湿敷、地塞米松漱口水和透明质酸治疗口腔疾病,在口角涂抹2%咪康唑乳膏,在干燥的唇部涂抹凡士林乳膏,并停止使用电子烟。治疗一周后口腔状况有所改善。 结论:局限于口腔的多形红斑较为罕见,尤其是与电子烟相关的病例。早期识别口腔溃疡性疾病对于准确诊断和治疗至关重要,临床医生应将口腔多形红斑视为一种可能的诊断。
