Herpetiformis vesicles, which rupture and leave areas of superficial intraoral ulcers, are caused by_____________?
Correct answer: D. None of the above
- A. Varicella Zoster virus
- B. Herpes zoster virus
- C. Coxsackie virus
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Herpetiform vesicles that ulcerate superficially are classically associated with herpes simplex, but HSV is not listed among the options. Coxsackievirus can cause vesicles in herpangina, but these are characteristically concentrated on the soft palate and posterior pharynx, so “none of the above” is the best choice.
