Coinfected viral glossitis in an immunocompetent teenager

Viral glossitis is an uncommon condition in an immunocompetent patient. We reported a patient with developedpainful pseudo-membranes on the tongue. The diagnosis showed multiple viral infections. The patient promptlyresponded to antiviral therapy. Multiple viral infections should no longer be considered as a diagnosis only inimmunosuppressed patients, but in healthy persons as well.
