Abstract
1. 1. Some of the most common systemic and oral clinical signs and symptoms and laboratory findings in diabetes, syphilis, infectious mononucleosis, acute leucemia, purpura, lichens planus, and pemphigus have been described, and the relationships of these diseases to inflammations of the gingival tissues have been pointed out. 2. 2. The pathogenicity of fusospirochetal organisms, which frequently predominate in the exudate obtained in the gingivitis occurring concurrently in these diseases, has been discussed. 3. 3. The etiological factors of these pathologic processes have been summarized. 4. 4. Attention has been called to the importance of obtaining complete clinical and laboratory data so that both systemic and oral relationships may be understood and rational treatment planned. 5. 5. The various features of the discussion are illustrated by clinical photographs and photomicrographs. © 1945.
