   Acute herpetic gingivostomatitis is a disease characterized by inflamed gums, lymphadenitis, fever, and mouth ulcers. Mouth ulcers are typically painful and can be present on the tongue, gums, and inside of the cheeks. Other symptoms can include difficulty eating or drinking, bad breath, and irritability. Therefore, the correct answer is C. inflamed gums, lymphadenitis, fever, and mouth ulcers. Option A is incorrect because conjunctivitis and hyperpyrexia (high fever) are not typically associated with acute herpetic gingivostomatitis, although submaxillary lymphadenitis (swollen lymph nodes in the neck) can occur. Option B is incorrect because recurrent ulcers and enlargement of gums are more characteristic of recurrent aphthous stomatitis or herpetic lesions caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2), while symptoms of malaise and fever are not typically associated with acute herpetic gingivostomatitis. Option D is incorrect because parotid swellings and hypertrophic gingivitis are not typical features of acute herpetic gingivostomatitis. Parotid swelling is more commonly seen in mumps, and hypertrophic gingivitis can occur in other conditions such as leukemia or other blood disorders.
