THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF ERYTHEMA MULTIFORME AND ITS MANIFESTATIONS IN THE ORAL CAVITY

This article provides a scientific analysis of the theoretical foundations, etiology, and pathogenesis of erythema multiforme (EM). During the research process, the role of immunological mechanisms, infectious, and allergic factors in the development of the disease was substantiated. In addition, the clinical manifestations of EM in the oral cavity, particularly the formation of erosions, ulcers, and inflammatory lesions, were systematically described. Based on clinical observations, the main symptoms of the disease, their localization, and their impact on the patient’s condition were identified. The research results indicate the necessity of differential diagnosis of EM from other mucosal diseases. The article also justifies the importance of early detection, accurate diagnosis, and comprehensive treatment approaches. The obtained scientific results expand the possibilities for effective management of EM in dental and dermatological practice.
