A third virologically-confirmed case of thoracic-distribution zoster sine herpete is reported. Electromyography (EMG) of paraspinal muscles demonstrated frequent fibrillation potentials restricted to chronically painful thoracic root segments. Treatment with intravenous acyclovir and oral famciclovir were ineffective. These findings suggest the usefulness of EMG of muscles corresponding to painful dermatomes, combined with virologic studies, to support the diagnosis of zoster sine herpete.
报告了第三例经病毒学确诊的无疱疹性胸段带状疱疹病例。椎旁肌肌电图（EMG）显示频繁的纤颤电位，局限于慢性疼痛的胸神经根节段。静脉注射阿昔洛韦和口服泛昔洛韦治疗无效。这些发现表明，与病毒学研究相结合，对对应疼痛皮节的肌肉进行肌电图检查有助于支持无疱疹性带状疱疹的诊断。
