Background
- Primary HSV-1 infection of lips, gingiva, and tongue
- HSV-2 associated with genital disease
- Usually occurs in childhood[1]
- 90% of population is seropositive by age 40[1]
Clinical Features
- Prodrome of fever, myalgias, and cervical adenopathy[2]
- Painful vesicular and/or ulcerative lesions of mucocutaneous areas (non-keratinized mucosa)
- Can be extremely painful and → odynophagia
- Lasts approx 1-4 weeks without treatment, course shortened with treatment
Differential Diagnosis
Herpes Simplex Virus-1
- Eczema herpeticum
- Herpes gingivostomatitis
- Herpes keratitis
- Herpes labialis (cold sore)
- Herpes simplex encephalitis
- Herpetic whitlow
Diagnostic Evaluation
- Clinical diagnosis, based on history and physical exam
- Available laboratory studies (not required for diagnosis)[2]:
- Viral culture (gold standard)
- Direct immunofluorescence
- Tzanck smear (poor specificity)
Management
Treatment does not affect dormant virus in nerve ganglions → recurrent disease remains possible
- Antiviral drug
- Analgesia (e.g. Acetaminophen and/or Ibuprofen)
- PO intake is important
- Consider viscous lidocaine before meals[1]
Disposition
- Discharge
