Recurrent Oral Herpes Simplex Infections: A Report of Three Cases and Literature Review
Recurrent oral herpes simplex infections are founded in normal general populations who have been primarily-infected and have antibody against HSV. Recurrent herpes labialis is found more often than recurrent intraoral herpes. But intraoral herpes may be increasing slightly now with difference in severity and morbidity. Treatments generally are supportive, but in severe case systemic antiviral may be useful. Prophylaxis with antiviral to prevent recurrences may be needed in patients with low immunity, severe and frequent recurrences or patients who experienced recurrent erythema multiforme following episodes of recurrent HSV infections. Diagnosis of recurrent intraoral herpes is based on case-specific historical findings, clinical appearances and location of the lesions. Dentist who often see and treat patients with many types of ulcerations must give proper diagnosis, proper treatment, proper informations and aware of preventing spread of infections form these patients. This article reviews the literature of herpes simplex infections and reports 3 cases of intraoral recurrent herpes simplex virus infections.
