Risk factors for the malignant transformation of oral potentially malignant disorders include the site of the lesion (e.g., floor of the mouth, tongue), size, clinical type (e.g., speckled leukoplakia), presence of Invasive Candida albicans, and DNA aneuploidy. While oral cancer is more common in males, being male in itself is not considered a specific risk factor for the malignant transformation of an existing premalignant lesion. Risk factors relate to the nature of the lesion and associated biological or environmental factors.

General MicrobiologyThe role of the Vi antigen in the pathogenesis of typhoid fever is it allows the bacteria to evade the hosts immune response by inhibiting phagocytosis: The Vi antigen is a polysaccharide capsule found in some strains of S. typhi that helps the bacteria avoid phagocytosis by host immune cells. This contributes to the bacterias ability to survive and proliferate within the human body.
