Currently there are eight human herpesviruses identified that cause disease in both adults and children. Although the manifestations of disease differ with each herpesvirus, cutaneous presentations are common among almost all of them. These skin manifestations may be visually similar among several of these viruses, occasionally making it challenging to diagnose the patient's illness. Laboratory diagnostic testing is commercially available for most of these viruses. Because many herpesvirus infections are self-limiting in immunocompetent hosts, patients require only supportive care. Effective antiviral therapy is available for the more severe cases of infection caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), or cytomegalovirus (CMV). Healthcare practitioners should become familiar with the different cutaneous manifestations these viruses may exhibit.

“…20 Cytomegalovirus (CMV) may give rise to large, chronic ulcers of the oral mucosa or gingiva. 21 These CMV-related ulcers occur exclusively under conditions of significant immunodeficiency, notably severe HIV disease. The diagnosis of such ulcers is difficult and is often only confirmed by resolution of ulcers with ganciclovir therapy.…”

Leão JC, Gomes VB, Porter S. Ulcerative lesions of the mouth: an update for the general medical practitioner. Clinics. 2007;62(6):769-80.Oral ulceration is a common complaint of patients attending out-patient clinics. Because of the diversity in causes of oral ulceration, patients presenting with oral mucosal disease can be challenging to diagnose and manage. Patients with signs or symptoms of oral ulcers are sometimes referred to gastroenterology clinics; however, in most instances the ulcers do not result from gastrointestinal disease. The aim of the present article is to review aspects of the etiology, diagnosis and management of common ulcerative disorders of the oral mucosa. A search in the National Library of Medicine computerized bibliographic database MEDLINE was performed. Selection of publications, extraction of data, and validity assessment were then performed by the authors. Based upon the searched literature, it is concluded that there are several systemic disorders that can present with similar clinical signs and symptoms, and knowledge of each disease is necessary for the clinician to provide proper management.
