Abstract
Herpes simplex hominis Type 1 (less frequently Type 2) is the commonest viral infection of the oral cavity. Herpes zoster not infrequently affects the face or mouth. Other vesicular eruptions such as hand, foot and mouth disease and herpangina, due to the Coxsackie A group of viruses, occur as occasional epidemics among children of nursery-school age.
