Acupuncture and cupping have a public reputation as being safe even though these practices can lead to complications such as trauma or infection. We report here on a case of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection secondary to acupuncture and cupping in a 56-year-old woman. The patient, who had a history of acupuncture and cupping on her left forearm for treating her myalgia, developed painful papules. Histologically, the biopsy specimen showed characteristic ballooning degeneration and inclusion bodies in the epidermis and mid-dermis. These clinical and histological findings were consistent with the diagnosis of HSV infection.
针灸和拔火罐在公众认知中被认为是安全的,尽管这些操作可能会导致创伤或感染等并发症。我们在此报告一例56岁女性因针灸和拔火罐继发单纯疱疹病毒(HSV)感染的病例。该患者有在左前臂进行针灸和拔火罐治疗肌痛的病史,之后出现了疼痛性丘疹。组织学检查显示,活检标本在表皮和真皮中层呈现出特征性的气球样变性和包涵体。这些临床和组织学表现符合HSV感染的诊断。
