Background: Valvular heart disease is a heart valve disorder that needs complex multiple medications by administering certain drugs that cannot be replaced with other drugs because of different mechanisms of action. Beta-blockers and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme inhibitors are drugs of choice for valvular heart disease, with diuretics and antipsychotics can cause xerostomia. Valvular heart disease patient who has a severe infection or sepsis needs long-term antibiotic treatment. Xerostomia and long-term antibiotic treatment are predisposing factors for oral candidiasis. Objective: to discuss oral candidiasis and severe xerostomia because of multiple medications in valvular heart disease patients. Case: A 58-year-old male was referred from Cardiology and Vascular Medicine Department with a chief complaint of sore tongue and pain at swallowing since 3 days ago with dry sensation of the mouth. Extraoral examination revealed dry and exfoliative lips, intraoral examination revealed fissured and lobulated tongue and white plaques could be scraped off leaving erythematous area oropharynx and tongue. The diagnoses were oropharyngeal candidiasis and severe xerostomia score of 8 according to the Chalacombe scale. Case Management: Patient was treated with nystatin, chlorine dioxide, 0.12 % chlorhexidine digluconate mouthwash, and vaseline album. Oral candidiasis was disappeared on the 22nd day of treatment. Conclusion: Xerostomia and oral candidiasis in patients with valvular heart disease require appropriate therapy, more intensive monitoring by considering the patient's general condition, and interprofessional team collaboration in the therapy of the main disease.

Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) merupakan reaksi kulit yang berat akibat hipersensitifitas berupa gangguan mukokutaneus akut ditandai epidermolisis lebih dari 30% luas permukaan tubuh disertai gangguan sistemik dan dapat mengancam jiwa. Asupan nutrisi yang adekuat sangat penting untuk pemulihan dari kerusakan jaringan, terutama asupan protein. Keterlibatan mukosa rongga mulut pada TEN berupa lesi erosi pada membran mukosa yang menimbulkan kesulitan makan. Seorang wanita berusia 31 tahun dirujuk dari bagian Ilmu Kesehatan Kulitdan Kelamin dengan keluhan lecet dan gelembung berisi cairan jernih pada hampir seluruh tubuh disertai nyeri menelan sehingga pasien sulit makan sejak 2 hari yang lalu. Pasien didiagnosis TEN ec suspect fenitoin, diazepam dan asam mefenamat. Anemia defisiensi Fe, infeksi saluran kencing, drug induced liver injury, hipoalbuminemia dan hiponatremia. ditemukan dari hasil pemeriksaan laboratorium. Pemeriksaan ekstra oral menunjukan seluruh wajah, leher dan dada terdapat makula kecoklatan disertai daerah erosi pada bagian leher, mata anemis, sklera non ikterik, bibir atas dan bawah bengkak disertai krusta sanguinolenta. Pemeriksaan intra oral ditemukan lesi erosif eritema multipel pada hampir seluruh mukosa rongga mulut. Diagnosis kerja yaitu lesi oral terkait Toksik EpidermalNekrolisis. Terapi yang diberikan berupa kompres bibir larutan dexametason bergantian dengan NaCl 0,9% serta pemberian chlorhexidine gluconate 0,2% mouthwash. Seminggu kemudian pasien mengalami perbaikan dan dapatmakan makanan biasa. Kesimpulan dari penanganan dini yang adekuat terhadap manifestasi oral pasien TEN akan mendukung kondisi sistemik dengan meningkatnya asupan nutrisi sebagai bagian dari perawatan komprehensif.
