    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the recurrence rate and clinical effect of the treatment of recurrent genital herpes with self-prescribed decoction eliminating herpes combined with recombinant human interleukin-2 (IL-2). METHODS: One hundred and forty patients diagnosed as having recurrent genital herpes were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 10 each. The experimental group received treatment of self-prescribed decoction eliminating herpes combined with recombinant IL-2 and valaciclovir hydrochloride tablets, and the control group received recombinant IL-2 and valaciclovir hydrochloride tablets. RESULTS: The total effective rate and cure rate in experimental group were significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.01). There was a markedly lower recurrence rate of genital herpes in the experimental group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The self-prescribed decoction eliminating herpes combined with recombinant human IL-2 is of quite effective against recurrent genital herpes and can significantly decrease the recurrence rate, thus further clinical study being necessary.
