abstract: The intensity of herpes simplex virus in adolescents can range from trivial to life-threatening and, because therapy should begin early, a high index of suspicion is required. Various forms of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections addressed here includes gingivostomatitis, anogenital infection, herpetic whitlow, eye infections, encephalitis, and infection in the immunocompromised host.
