In Greek enanthema means "rash" or "rash". Enanthema is the general name for lesions of the human mucosa, localized in any part of the body. Often, it appears before any more obvious symptoms of the disease, so it is a good signal of an impending disease. For example, the enanthema informs in advance about the onset of diseases such as herpangina, measles, rubella, typhoid, smallpox, etc.
Localization of enanthems
Typical localization of enanthema is the oral cavity and pharynx. Many different diseases can manifest as a rash in this area. Typhoid fever causes the tonsils to become full of blood (hyperemia), leading to redness and swelling. In the future, a rash and sores develop. This syndrome is also referred to as Duguet's angina.
Viral enanthema occurs on the basis of a rotavirus infection. Herpes viruses lead to mucosal damage. Shingles can also be the cause. In the latter case, it should be noted that rashes appear only in the area where the trigeminal nerve passes.
Such an acute skin disease as erythema multiforme exudative can cause damage not only to the mucous membrane of the nose, mouth and pharynx, but also to the genitourinary organs. Enanthema can accompany chronic infectious diseases: syphilis, tuberculosis, leprosy, HIV, etc. The soft palate can be affected by a rash due to viral or fungal diseases: scarlet fever, viral hepatitis, long-term antibiotic treatment leading to the development of fungi.
Enanthema treatment
Enanthema is just a symptom of some disease in the body. Therefore, the disease should be treated, the result of which was a rash. For each individual disease, there is its own diagnostic methodology and appropriate treatment is prescribed, which only a doctor can determine.
Don't self-medicate. You should contact the clinic for qualified help.
