[Therapy of herpes simplex and varicella zoster infections in the ENT area].

The article reports on 41 patients having infections induced by Herpes simplex and Herpes zoster virus. Systemic intravenous administration of acyclovir results in a very rapid reduction of pain and mucosal changes in herpetic stomatitis. In cutaneous lesions of the trigeminal nerve branches induced by Herpes zoster virus there is also a very rapid reduction of pain and efflurescence after 3 days. In 16 patients suffering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, also known as Herpes zoster oticus, lesions of the facial nerve function were present. 8 Patients demonstrated cochleovestibular signs and symptoms, 2 had flat inner ear hearing loss of 40 dB, 1 reduced unilateral caloric response. Treatment was effected by intravenous administration of acyclovir and simultaneous classical symptomatic therapy consisting of intravenously administered dextrane, cortisone and antiinflammatory drugs. Symptomatic therapy is necessary because acyclovir stops the replication of viruses but does not influence the disturbed nerve function. In 2 cases with a damage of more than 90% of the facial nerve fibres, endaural decompression of the geniculate ganglion was performed. Cochleovestibular deficits improved to normal during one week and all facial lesions within 8 months. Drug-related side effects were seen in one patient who had an exanthema.
