Orofacial Infection
- Infection by HSV-1 is the most common cause of herpes that affects the face and mouth (orofacial herpes), although within the recent years an increase in oral HSV-2 infections has been reported.[1]
- A majority of primary HSV-1 infections occur during childhood and if the virus comes into contact with the mucosa or abraded skin, it can cause acute herpetic gingivostomatitis (inflammation of the cheek's mucosa and gums) within 5–10 days. Some other symptoms may also develop, including fever and sore throat, and painful ulcers may appear.[1]
- Primary HSV infection in adolescents frequently manifests as severe pharyngitis with lesions developing on the cheek and gums. Some individuals develop difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia) and swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy).[1] Primary HSV infections in adults often presents as pharyngitis similar to that observed in glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis), but gingivostomatitis is less likely. The symptoms of primary HSV infection generally resolve within two weeks.[1]
- Once a primary oral HSV-1 infection has resolved, the HSV enters the nerves surrounding the primary lesion, migrates to the cell body of the neuron, and becomes latent in the trigeminal ganglion. In some patients, the virus reactivates to cause recurrent infection; which is more common with HSV-1 than HSV-2 oral infection.[1] [2]
- Prodromal symptoms often precede a recurrence, which typically begins with reddening of the skin around the infected site, with eventual ulceration to form fluid-filled blisters that affect the lip (labial) tissue and the area between the lip and skin (vermillion border). The recurrent infection is thus often called herpes simplex labialis. Rare occasions of reinfections occur inside the mouth (intraoral HSV stomatitis), affecting the gums, alveolar ridge, hard palate, and the back of the tongue. This may be accompanied by herpes labialis.[1] [3]
- Oral herpes is spread by direct contact with an active sore in an infected person, for instance, by kissing. However, the virus can be transmitted through the skin in the absence of a lesion.
- Oral herpes and cold sores can sometimes be confused with canker sores.
Differential diagnosis
Herpes simplex orofacial infection must be differentiated from other diseases causing oral lesions such as leukoplakia and herpes simplex virus infection.
