Abstract

The most common clinically apparent form of primary infection caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) ? type 1 (labialis) is the so-called primary hepatic gingival stomatitis. This illness occurs mainly in childhood but it can affect adults as well, in whom it can progress less typically.

Currently, this disease is the most common acute stomatitis. The authors in their contribution describe unusual HSV primary infection forms induced by the serotype 2 (genitalis) with simultaneous oral mucose and genital infliction.
