Syphilitic Chancre of the Lips Transmitted by Kissing

Primary syphilic chancre most often involved genitalia, with 12% to 14% extragenital lesions. This article describes a rare case of a female patient with labial ulcer and diagnosed as oral syphilis (OS), an uncommon presentation of primary syphilis. OS is transmitted through orogenital contact.This study is case report and literature review.We report a 27-year-old woman with painless, ulcerativ...

Conformations of Flanking Bases in HIV-1 RNA DIS Kissing Complexes Studied by Molecular Dynamics

Explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations (in total almost 800 ns including locally enhanced sampling runs) were applied with different ion conditions and with two force fields (AMBER and CHARMM) to characterize typical geometries adopted by the flanking bases in the RNA kissing-loop complexes. We focus on flanking base positions in multiple x-ray and NMR structures of HIV-1 DIS kissing c...

Transfer of gonococcal pharyngitis by kissing?

The relationship to fellatio is shown in a report by Wiesner, Tronca, Bonin, Petersen, and Holmes (1973) from the U.S.A. in which the incidence in homosexual males was fourteen out of 143 (9-8 per cent.) compared with three out of 217 (1 4 per cent.) in heterosexual males. Also from the U.S.A., Owen and Hill (1972) reported finding pharyngeal gonorrhoea in eleven out of 79 (13 9 per cent.) homo...
