It is often caused by HSV-1 and affects children most of the time. Unlike, the majority of primary HSV infections that is asymptomatic. It may be preceded by some prodromal symptoms like fever, anorexia, irritability, malaise, and headache. After the resolution of the primary infection, the virus remains latent in a nervous ganglion.

原发性疱疹性龈口炎（PHGS）是单纯疱疹病毒（HSV）原发性感染最常见的临床特征。它通常由HSV-1引起，多数情况下影响儿童。与大多数无症状的原发性HSV感染不同，它可能先出现一些前驱症状，如发热、厌食、易怒、不适和头痛。原发性感染消退后，病毒潜伏在神经节中。本文旨在报告一例10岁儿童患严重原发性疱疹性龈口炎并伴有疱疹性瘭疽的病例。
