Tzanck smear Oral Antiviral medications . Multinucleated giant cells . Orolabial Herpes and Genital Herpes (initiate within 24-48hrs of onset) Direct Fluorescent antibody assay (DFA) Foscarnet is used when acyclovir- resistant HSV is present Viral Culture Chronic suppression in those with > 6 Western Blot outbreaks per year VARICELLA Prodrome
Clinically: pruritic, erythematous macules, papules and vesicles with a surrounding red halo (“dew drop on a rose petal”)
lesions in all stages of development
Patient is infectious from 1-2 days prior to presentation of skin lesions until all of the vesicles have crusted over • Dormant in the dorsal root ganglion and appears upon reactivation
Prodrome of pruritus, tingling, tenderness, hyperesthesia and/or intense pain
Development of painful grouped vesicles on an erythematous base in a dermatomal distribution . Can involve more than one dermatome and cross midline RAMSAY HUNT SYNDROME HUTCHINSON SIGN
Reactivation involving the geniculate Zoster affecting the nasal tip can lead to ganglion of the facial nerve blindness due to direct effects on ophthalmic Can cause ear pain, hearing loss, facial division of CN V1 via nasociliary nerve paralysis and loss of taste to anterior 2/3 of the tongue DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT
Diagnosis is usually made clinically Symptomatic treatment Tzanck smear and/or DFA . DFA used to differentiate between HSV and Oral Antiviral medications within 24- VZV 72 hrs Viral culture
