Herpes zoster virus (HZV) infection, particularly of the trigeminal nerve, can be a disabling and disfiguring condition with variable clinical presentations. Acyclovir is a highly effective treatment modality during the acute clinical phase; however, pain control may be very difficult particularly with protracted and severe post herpetic neuralgia (PHN). The clinicopathologic features are reviewed and two cases in immunosuppressed patients with HZV infection of different divisions of the trigeminal nerve are presented.
带状疱疹病毒(HZV)感染,尤其是三叉神经感染,可能会导致一种临床表现各异的致残性和毁容性疾病。阿昔洛韦在急性临床阶段是一种非常有效的治疗方式;然而,疼痛控制可能非常困难,尤其是对于迁延性和严重的带状疱疹后神经痛(PHN)。本文回顾了临床病理特征,并介绍了两例免疫抑制患者的三叉神经不同分支HZV感染病例。
