Gingival infection

Experimental data together with the fact that resorcinolic lipids are nontoxic to higher animals, for example, they are tolerated by rats with an oral intake of 5g/kg ([204] and Kozubek, unpublished work) has resulted in the application of these compounds, as basic components in pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations. These preparations were found to be useful in the treatment of mouth and gingival infections, as antifungal fluids, in antiacne and also in hair restoration-lotion preparations [309,312,314]. 

Major adverse effects include agranulocytosis (with fever, malaise, gingivitis, oropharyngeal infection, and a granulocyte count less than 250/mm3), aplastic anemia, a lupus-like syndrome, polymyositis, GI intolerance, hepatotoxicity, and hypoprothrombinemia. If it occurs, agranulocytosis almost always develops in the first 3 months of therapy routine monitor-...

Infection of the liver by this species causes amoebic hepatitis, E. gingivalis, found within the spaces between the teeth, is associated with periodontal disease and gingivitis. 

IL-1 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of (1) rheumatoid arthritis (RA), (2) septic shock, (3) periodontitis, (4) malignancy, (5) asbestosis, (6) tuberculosis, and (7) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Its presence has also been correlated with disease activity or differential diagnosis (synovial fluids, gingival fluids, or even serum). For example, patients with nonallergic bronchial asthma were characterized by increased levels of IL-1 and IL-6 produced by monocytes.
