Hand, Foot , and Mouth Disease
- enterovirus
- widespread oral ulcers
- resemble primary herpetic gingivostomatitis

- symptomatic tx
HHV-Type 1
- primary herpes
* *gingiovastomatitis in children
* *often asymptomatic

* *fever blisters
* *cold sores - recurrent herpes
* *viral reactivation
* *multiple stimuli: UV radiation, trauma
HHV-Type 2
- secondary herpes
- genital herpes
- oral lesions identical to HHV Type 1
Varicella Zoster-Type 3
- tertiary herpes virus
- chicken pox
* *primary infection: virus resides in nerve cell bodies - shingles (herpes zoster)
* *recurrent infection: dermatomal distribution
EBV-Type 4
herpes virus
- mononucleosis
* *kissing
* *PALATAL PETECHIAE - Burkitt lymphoma
