Clinicians should restrict "herpangina" to lesion description; literature review extends enteroviral etiology but leaves diagnostic criteria open.
The etiology of herpangitic enanthem cannot be restricted to certain Coxsackie A viruses. Zahorsky1, 2 and others3-5 considered herpangina a specific febrile disease, but in light of more recent studies6-17 and the presently reported cases, it would seem more appropriate to restrict the use of the term "herpangina" to the description of the characteristic oropharyngeal lesions. Enanthem is one of the protean manifestations of enterovirus infection and is must be included along with other signs and symptoms in the over-all differential diagnosis of summer febrile illness.
