“…HCMV DNA was identified in 81% of HIV-associated periodontitis lesions and in 50% of the non-HIV periodontitis lesions, and was the most common herpesvirus identified [22]. In HIV-infected individuals, HCMV has also been implicated in acute periodontitis [23], periodontal abscess formation and osteomyelitis [24], and refractory chronic sinusitis [25]. Human herpes virus 8 was detected in periodontitis lesions of 24% of HIVinfected individuals with no clinical signs of Kaposi's sarcoma, but was not identified in any periodontitis site of non-HIV-infected individuals [26].…”

Conceivably, a herpesvirus active infection in the periodontium impairs local defenses, thereby permitting overgrowth and increased aggressiveness of periodontopathic bacteria. In turn, periodontal pathogenic bacteria may augment the virulence of periodontal herpesviruses. It is suggested that interactions among herpesviruses and specific bacterial species constitute an important pathogenetic feature of periodontitis and maybe also of various non-oral infections.

Cytomegalovirus Infection in Normal and Immunocompromised Humans

et al. 2000

Although cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is a severe complication among immunocompromised patients, its cutaneous features have not been reported frequently. CMV belongs to the Herpesviridae family sharing with the other members the ability to remain latent in their natural hosts after an initial infection and to produce overt disease in several settings. The natural history of human CMV infection is characterized by primary infection, latent infection and reinfection. This article reviews the extremely variable aspects of the clinical presentation of CMV infection in normal and immunocompromised humans, focusing on the dermatological manifestations, and indicates the laboratory tests for detecting CMV responsibility in skin disorders.

“…These ulcers can appear on any mucosal surface and may be confused with aphthous ulcers , necrotizing ulcerative periodontitis (NUP), (Dodd et al, 1993), and lymphoma. Unlike aphthous ulcers, however, which usually have an erythematous margin, CMV ulcers appear necrotic with a white halo, (Langford et al, 1990).…”
