Case Reports

Painful, ulcerated lesions of the palate and facial skin



RW Correll, WB Wescott, and H Birkholz

Herpes zoster is an acute viral infection that principally affects the skin. It occasionally may involve the oral region with patients sometimes initially complaining of toothache. Generalized skin involvement by the disease should alert the clinician to the possibility of an underlying malignancy. Dentists should also be aware that the disease is infectious and can be transmitted, especially to susceptible individuals.
