E. Thomas. Brit Dent J 2007;203:33-34 A 7 year-old girl was referred with a two week history of fever, lymphadenopathy, oral and peri-oral ulceration. A diagnosis of primary herpetic gingivo-stomatitis was made on clinical criteria. Returning 2 weeks later she presented with bilateral labial adhesions, extending from the labial commisures limiting mouth opening. After a further 2 weeks the lesions had not broken down and were therefore released under general anaesthesia Comment. This is an interesting but rare complication of primary herpetic gingivo-stomatitis. When ulceration occurs affecting the lips and commisures it is recommended that barrier creams be used to prevent this condition. |
