Abstrakt: |
Herpetic gingivostomatitis represents the most commonly observed clinical manifestation of primary herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection. HSV-1 has been associated with oro-labial disease, with most infections occurring during childhood, and HSV-2 with genital disease. However, it is possible for HSV-2 to cause oro-labial herpes and HSV-1 to cause genital herpes. An unusual case of acute herpetic gingivostomatitis (AHGS) that presented as extremely painful multiple ulcerations of the gingiva and hard palate in a 32-year-old male patient is presented. The association of HSV-2 in the etiology of oral lesions is highlighted. The clinical presentation, course, differential diagnosis and management of AHGS are discussed.
