SUMMARY.— Within a few days of each other 3 sisters between the ages of 6 and 13, who were the only children of the family, all developed acute primary herpes. The 2 younger ones were ill with severe blistering of mouth and lips. The oldest child had gross blistering of the tongue, but only mild constitutional symptoms. Their father had suffered for years from recurrent herpes of lips.
