Viral Induced Reactive Plasmacytosis

Abstract

Abstract Plasmacytosis is a condition of increased number of plasma cells in tissues, exudate or blood as a defence mechanism. Transient immune reactions in any infection or autoimmune disorder may present as reactive plasmacytosis that might rarely also manifest as plasma cell mucositis. Reactive plasmacytosis has been reported in several viral infections and has been found to completely disappear within 2 weeks. Complete clinical evaluation, individualised investigation and more specific tests are required to rule out these oral manifestations. Thus, we hereby present an extremely rare condition wherein Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) led to reactive plasmacytosis.
