A 16-year-old white female experiences the sudden onset of tender, bleeding gums, malodorous breath, and a bad taste in her mouth. On examination she is febrile and has cervical lymphadenopathy and tachycardia. Her mouth has marginal punched-out, crater-like depressions of the interdental gingival papillae and gingival margins that are covered with a gray pseudomembranous slough.
The drug of choice for treating this condition is
acyclovir (Zovirax)
penicillin
clotrimazole troche (Mycelex)
ketoconazole (Nizoral)
prednisone

Sounds like Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative gingivitis/Vincent's infection caused by Fusobacterium fusiforme (anaerobe) and Borrelia vincenti(spirochaete)=> Treat with Metro plus Penicillin.
