  • Title: [Herpes zoster treated with acyclovir].
    Author: Grempel H, Rozenman D, Zuckerman F.
    Journal: Harefuah; 1994 Apr 01; 126(7):380-3, 426. PubMed ID: 8200584.
    Abstract:
    During the past 5 years, 99 patients with herpes zoster were hospitalized and followed. Age, sex, localization of rash, complications, duration of hospitalization and treatment were analyzed. Most patients were in their 6th and 7th decades. Cranial nerve involvement was frequent (35%). A generalized rash was more common in those with immunodeficiency. Acyclovir (Zovirax) inhibited to some extent the spreading of the rash and reduced the frequency of herpetic neuralgia. Our findings are in accord with those in the literature.
