Q

HPV that s transmitted by droplet spread o contact with the lesion

Affects children and young adults

Characterized by the development of fever, irritability, headache, pain upon swallowing, and regional lymphadenopathy

Mouth becomes painful; gingiva is intensely inflamed appears erythematous and edematous - lips, tongue,buccal mucosa, palate, pharynx, and tonsile may also be involved

Yellowish, fluid-filled vesicles develop

Heal spontaneously within 7-14 days and leave no scar

Q

A type of HPV that is usually seen in adult patient

May develop either at the site of primary inoculation or in the adjacent area supplied by the involved ganglion
