A case of chronic severe neutropenia: Oral findings and consequences of short-term granulocyte colony-stimulating factor treatment
Neutropenia is an absolute decrease in the number of circulating neutrophils in the blood which results in susceptibility to severe pyogenic infections. Various oral findings such as periodontitis, alveolar bone loss and ulceration may be seen in neutropenic patients. A case is presented of a 6 year old girl with chronic, probably congenital, severe neutropenia with frequent respiratory tract infections, recurrent oral ulcerations and significant periodontal breakdown resembling prepubertal periodontitis.

Minocycline and oral pigmentation
Minocycline is a semisynthetic tetracycline used in the treatment of inflammatory acne because of its broad spectrum of activity, less common development of resistant organisms, and its anti-inflammatory effects. A number of adverse reactions are reported, including skin and oral pigmentation. This paper details the pharmacology of minocycline and describes the pigmentation and likely mechanisms active in both hard and soft tissues.
