We present a case of recurrent herpes labialis treated with acyclovir. The patient attended within 3 h of the onset of prodrome of the condition, when he appeared clinically normal. Electron infra-fred thermography of the face and lips was undertaken and demonstrated a significant sub-clinical local elevation in temperature of 1.7 degrees C at the site where prodromal symptoms were perceived. Treatment with topical acyclovir cream five times daily was commenced immediately and aborted the developing lesion. Two days after presentation the patient was thermographically normal. To our knowledge this is the first report documenting the abortion of herpes labialis treated with acyclovir where the prodrome was confirmed thermographically.
我们报告一例用阿昔洛韦治疗复发性唇疱疹的病例。该患者在病情前驱症状出现后3小时内就诊，当时临床外观正常。对其面部和唇部进行了电子红外热成像检查，结果显示在前驱症状出现部位有明显的亚临床局部温度升高，达1.7摄氏度。随即开始每天5次外用阿昔洛韦乳膏治疗，病变发展得以中止。就诊两天后，患者热成像检查结果恢复正常。据我们所知，这是第一份记录通过热成像确认前驱症状后用阿昔洛韦治疗唇疱疹并使其中止发作的报告。
