Abstract:
Cases of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), monkeypox virus (MPXV), and avian influenza A Virus (IAV) have increased during our current prolonged Corona Virus Disease 2019 (CoViD-19) pandemic. The rise of these viral infectious diseases may be associated or even inter-dependent with acute, latent or recurrent infection with Systemic Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV2). The nonsensical neologism \'tripledemic\' was tentatively introduced to describe the confluent nature of these trends (epidemic comes from two Greek words: epi=on, about, demos=people; pandemic is also derived from Ancient Greek: pan=all, demos=people; but \'tripledemic\' would derive from Latin triplus=three, Greek demos=people, and would at best signify \'three countries, three peoples\', but certainly not the current threat of confluence of three, or perhaps more pandemics). Emerging evidence suggests that monkey pox and CoViD-19, among several other viral diseases, produce significant observable manifestations in the oral cavity. From a clinical standpoint, dentists and dental personnel may be among the first health professionals to encounter and diagnose clinical signs of converging infections. From the immune surveillance viewpoint, viral recombination and viral interference among these infectious diseases must be examined to determine the potential threat of these colliding pandemics.
摘要:
呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)的病例,猴痘病毒(MPXV),在我们目前长期的冠状病毒病2019(CoViD-19)大流行期间,禽流感病毒(IAV)有所增加。这些病毒感染性疾病的上升可能与急性,系统性急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒-2(SARS-CoV2)的潜伏性或复发性感染。暂时引入了无意义的新词“三分法”来描述这些趋势的融合性质(流行病来自两个希腊语:epi=on,关于,演示=人;大流行也源于古希腊语:pan=全部,演示=人;但是“三分法”将来自拉丁语三分法=三,希腊演示=人,充其量代表三个国家,三个民族,但肯定不是目前三者融合的威胁,或者更多的流行病)。新出现的证据表明,在其他几种病毒性疾病中,猴痘和CoViD-19,在口腔中产生显著的可观察的表现。从临床的角度来看,牙医和牙科人员可能是第一批遇到和诊断合并感染的临床迹象的卫生专业人员。从免疫监视的角度来看,必须检查这些传染病之间的病毒重组和病毒干扰,以确定这些碰撞大流行的潜在威胁。
