Herpesvirus-Related Lesions of the Oral Mucosa

Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

The human herpesvirus (HHV) family is a group of enveloped DNA viruses containing 8 members known to produce oral mucosal lesions. Following initial exposure, which may result in symptomatic primary infection, the viruses establish latency within specific cells/tissues. After reactivation, herpesviruses can cause localized symptomatic or asymptomatic recurrent (secondary) infections or diseases. HHV may have a significant role in the cause of oral mucosal infectious diseases in immunocompromised patients. This article discusses the role of those herpesviruses that can induce oral mucosal lesions, with focus on the clinical features and treatment/management.
