 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 14 Local UV Acyclovir efficacy of treatment of herpes zoster [Abstract] Objective To observe the local UV irradiation combined with acyclovir treatment of herpes zoster patients. Methods 138 patients with herpes zoster were divided into 2 groups. The treatment group oral treatment with acyclovir plus local ultraviolet radiation; control group only acyclovir treatment of herpes zoster. Results The response rate (97.92%) was significantly higher (P lt;0.05), the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia is also significantly lower than the control group. Conclusion Local UV joint Acyclovir treatment of herpes zoster rapid onset, short course, a significant effect, and can prevent the occurrence of postherpetic neuralgia. [Keywords:] herpes zoster; ultraviolet; acyclovir; effect [Abstract] Objective To understand partial response of herpes zoster to ultraviolet radiation, and find other methods of herpes zoster treatment.Methods 138 cases of herpes zoster were divided into two groups. The treatment group received oral acyclovir and local ultraviolet irradiation while the control group received acyclovir alone.Results Treatment efficacy was significantly higher in the treatment group (97.92%) compared to the control (P lt;0.05), and the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia was also significantly lower in the treatment group.Conclusion Local UV combined with acyclovir treatment of herpes zoster produces fast, brief duration, significant effects, and can prevent the occurrence of postherpetic neuralgia. [Keywords:] Herpes zoster; Ultraviolet; Acyclovir; Effect Many of the treatment of herpes zoster, acyclovir is currently used mainly for a class of anti-herpes virus drugs, but clinically blister, erosion, drug therapy alone can not improve the rash condition rapidly in recent years, we have combined the use of local UV Acyclovir treatment of herpes zoster achieve significant results. we will be May 2009 to April 2010 were 13
