Herpesviruses and SARS-CoV-2: Viral Association with Oral Inflammatory Diseases

“Burgeoning evidence suggests the oral manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection includes xerostomia, dysgeusia, periodontal disease, mucositis, and opportunistic viral and bacterial infections,

It's time for herpes! Very much looking forward to attending the first in-person International Herpesvirus Workshop since 2019. This will be a vibrant meeting to catch up on all things herpesviruses. #IHW2023 #umt #missoula #herpes #herpes virus #vzv #cryoem #stanford #drslo
