It is also known as "[[H. Vincent|Vincent's]] [[stomatitis]]", "Vincent's [[Angina pectoris|angina]]", or "[[acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis]]" ('''ANUG'''). The common name was probably coined during World War I when many soldiers suffered from the condition. There are a number of other theories to the origin of the name. Vincent's angina was named after French physician [[Jean Hyacinthe Vincent]] (1862-1950).
