Herpes simplex labialis is one of the common infectious diseases caused by Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) type 1 and is commonly contracted during childhood or adolescence. These infections are manifested as primary and recurrent episodes and affects the vermillion border of the lip in about 90% of cases, the palate in 5% of cases, and elsewhere above the chin or on the oral mucosa rarely. In primary and recrudescent HSV-associated disease, the symptoms may range from subclinical to debilitating and life-threatening, depending on the host’s immune responses or competence level. Several factors, including exposure to intense sunlight, psychological stress or immunosuppression may trigger a recurrence. A case of recurrent herpes labialis with acute herpetic gingivostomatitis during pregnancy and the role of oral physician in managing such cases are described in the present article.
