Abstract: (8284 Views)
Viral glossitis is an uncommon condition in an immunocompetent patient. We reported a patient with developed painful pseudo-membranes on the tongue. The diagnosis showed multiple viral infections. The patient promptly responded to antiviral therapy. Multiple viral infections should no longer be considered as a diagnosis only in immunosuppressed patients, but in healthy persons as well.
