CHANGES IN MOUTH TISSUES AFTER VACCINATION

CHANGES IN MOUTH TISSUES AFTER VACCINATION To the Editor:— A clinical observation which I believe has not been reported before is especially timely in view of the present drive for universal revaccination initiated by Commissioner Israel Weinstein of New York City. I have had several cases for diagnosis of a painful itching or burning in discrete circumscribed areas in various parts of the mouth (tongue, lips, gingivae) which clinically show slight edema or desquamation. These lesions appear three to four days after vaccination against smallpox with varying intensity. No doubt the majority of the patients report no symptoms of this type, but for those who are affected the diagnosis may have puzzled some. It is possible that other forms of immunization may produce temporary aberrations of the oral tissues which previously have not been thus associated. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association
