Enanthema is a mucosal lesion.

Translated from the Greek language, enanthema means "rash" or "rash". Enanthema is the common name for lesions of the human mucous membrane, localized in any part of the body. Often, it appears before any more obvious symptoms of the disease, due to which it is a good signal about the upcoming disease. For example, an enanthema in advance reports the onset of diseases such as herpangina, measles, rubella, typhoid, smallpox, etc.

Enanthem localization

A typical localization of the enanthema is the oral cavity and pharynx. Many different diseases can manifest as a rash in this area. Typhoid fever causes tonsils to overflow with blood (hyperemia), which leads to their redness and swelling. In the future, a rash and sores develop. This syndrome is also called angina Dyuga.

Viral enanthema occurs due to rotavirus infection. Herpes viruses lead to mucosal damage. Shingles may also be the cause. In the latter case, it should be noted that rashes appear only in the area of ​​the trigeminal nerve.

Mucosal damage

An acute skin disease such as erythema multiforme exudative can cause damage not only to the mucous membrane of the nose, mouth and pharynx, but also to the urogenital organs. Enanthema can accompany chronic infectious diseases: syphilis, tuberculosis, leprosy, HIV, etc. A soft rash can cause a rash due to viral or fungal diseases: scarlet fever, viral hepatitis, long-term antibiotic treatment, leading to the development of fungi.

Enanthema is just a symptom of a disease in the body. Therefore, the disease should be treated, the result of which is a rash. Each individual disease has its own diagnostic methodology and appropriate treatment is prescribed, which only a doctor can determine.
