Abstract
Recurrent aphthous ulcers, or RAU--also called canker sores--are among the oral mucosal conditions that dentists and physicians see most commonly in their patients. Several systemic conditions are associated with oral aphthouslike ulcers, and aphthae themselves often are mistaken for recrudescent oral herpes simplex virus, or HSV, infections. This article will review RAU, describe systemic conditions associated with aphthous-like ulcerations and discuss the differences between RAU and recrudescent oral HSV infections.
