Can oral cavity ulcer infect?
The spread of disease between individuals in a population is called contagion.
Usually associated with pathogenic microorganisms.
That is, when a pathogen or virus spreads among susceptible people, the disease spreads.
Recurrent oral ulcer is recurrent oral ulcer, the etiology is still unclear, many scholars after years of research found that recurrent ulcer is a disease involving immune, social, psychological factors, genetics, nutrition and other complex factors.
Although it has been suggested that bacteria and viruses may be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease, and bacteria are indeed cultured on the surface of the ulcers, whether bacteria and viruses are the cause of the ulcers or simply the infection of pathogens after the ulcers has not been determined.
So it can be said that recurrent oral ulcer is not contagious.
However, herpes viral mouth ulcers are mouth ulcers caused by the herpes virus, which has a clear pathogenic microorganism, and the virus can be transmitted from one individual to another to develop the same mouth ulcer, so this mouth ulcer is contagious.
It is transmitted by contact with the virus contained in the blister fluid after the small blister ruptures.
Therefore, once this oral ulcer is found, it is necessary to be carefully isolated, especially in kindergartens, nurseries and other places where children live collectively to take measures to actively block contact and prevent infection.
