Letters to the Editor

Thank you for the opportunity to comment upon the letter from Doctor Steigman. In the interest of brevity we made no attempt to clarify our understanding of classical clinical herpangina. However, classic descriptions are recorded in our references. Doctor Steigman suggests that the brief description of the clinical lesions ("characterized by papular, vesicular and ulcerative lesions. . .") in our paper is "unauthorized." This description is, of course, not ours but that of Zahorsky: "Herpangina is a specific febrile disease characterized by the appearance of minute papules, vesicles, and ulcers in the throat."
