  • Title: Update on oral herpes virus infections.
    Author: Balasubramaniam R, Kuperstein AS, Stoopler ET.
    Journal: Dent Clin North Am; 2014 Apr; 58(2):265-80. PubMed ID: 24655522.
    Abstract:
    Oral herpes virus infections (OHVIs) are among the most common mucosal disorders encountered by oral health care providers. These infections can affect individuals at any age, from infants to the elderly, and may cause significant pain and dysfunction. Immunosuppressed patients may be at increased risk for serious and potential life-threatening complications caused by OHVIs. Clinicians may have difficulty in diagnosing these infections because they can mimic other conditions of the oral mucosa. This article provides oral health care providers with clinically relevant information regarding etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of OHVIs.
