AB  - Herpetic  gingivostomatitis  is  primary  infection  caused  by  HSV  seen  in  up  to  30%  of  children  between  6  months  and  5  years  of  age.  Patients  usually  present  with  approximately  4  days  of  fever,  malaise,  decreased  oral  intake,  cervical  adenopathy,  and  pain  in  the  mouth  and  throat.  Following  the  prodrome,  vesicular  and  ulcerative  lesions  appear  throughout  the  oral  cavity.  The  gingiva  becomes  very  friable  and  inflamed,  especially  around  the  alveolar  rim.  Increased  salivation,  foul  breath,  and  cervical  lymphadenitis  may  be  present.  Although  fever  resolves  in  3  to  5  days,  children  may  have  difficulty  eating  for  7  to  14  days.  Lesions  may  last  for  up  to  21  days  in  severe  cases.  Autoinoculation  may  produce  vesicular  lesions  on  the  fingers  (herpetic  whitlow).
