  9. goals of therapy for herpes zosterJ Am Acad Dermatol 2007;57:S136-42 • The goals of therapy for herpes zoster are • to accelerate healing, • limit the severity and duration of pain, • reduce complications, which include, in addition to postherpetic neuralgia, encephalitis, myelitis, cranial and peripheral palsies, a syndrome of delayed contralateral hemiparesis, and acute retinal necrosis.

  10. Management and prevention of herpes zoster: a Canadian perspective. • Varicella-zoster virus reactivation leads to herpes zoster – the main complication of which is postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). • Rapid antiviral therapy initiated within 72 hof rash onset has been shown to • accelerate rash healing, • reduce the duration of acute pain and, • to some extent, attenuate the development and duration of PHN. Can J infect dis Med Microbiol 2010;21(1):45-52.

  11. Pathogenesis and diagnosis • Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a member of the Herpesviridae family • Following an incubation period of 14 to 21 days, the primary infection is varicella (chickenpox). • The virus then migrates via retrograde axonal transport to sensory ganglia, where it establishes lifelong latency. • VZV reactivations can be asymptomatic or symptomatic leading to the development of zoster, which typically occurs many decades after primary infection.

  12. Clinical manifestation of Herpes zoster • A typical zoster rash in an immunocompetent individual involves one or two adjacent dermatomes, and usually lasts seven to 10 days. • Thoracic dermatomes up to 50% of cases, • Ophthalmic areas in 1% to 10% • About 75% patients report having prodromal pain (zoster sine herpete) • can precede the rash by days to weeks

  13. Clinical manifestation of Herpes zoster • Because zoster rash is so typical, diagnosis can be made clinically in most instances. • In very early stage, red edematous plaque may be confused with cellulitis or contact dermatitis. • While few papular lesions only, differentiate from herpes simplex virus (HSV) or conditions such as impetigo, folliculitis, insect bites etc.. • The rash may be atypical dissemination or chronicity in immunocompromised patients.

  14. Laboratory diagnostic test of Herpes zoster • Swabs and cell scrapings from the base for • Direct fluorescent antibody staining (DIF), 90% positive in vesicular stage (DDx VZV/HSV) • Cell culture : 60% to 75%, need one week • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) • the mostsensitive diagnostic method to distinguish wild-type VZV from the vaccine Oka strain • Tzanck cytology : ballooning cells and multinucleated giant cells • Cytopathic viral infection

  15. Herpes zoster

  16. Complication of Herpes zoster • Pain is the most frequent complication. • Acute pain occurring within 30 days after rash onset, • subacute pain (between 30 days and 90 to 120 days) • postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), significant pain and persists longer than 90 to 120 days after rash onset. • Keratitis, 2/3 in Hepes zoster ophthalmicus • neurological complications • Ramsay Hunt syndrome: HZ of the facial nerve, with vesicles on the ear, palate or tongue leading to facial paresis, hearing loss and vertigo. • Others: myelitis, aseptic meningitis, Bell’s palsy, etc..

  17. Complication of Herpes zoster

  18. Complication of Herpes zoster • Visceral dissemination: fatality rate of 5% to 15%,even with antiviral therapy • cellular immunodeficiency : HIV, hematological malignancies, solid tumours, and following stem cell or organ transplantation, • 皮蛇繞身體一圈後，病人可能沒救了? • Soft tissue infection, ? After NSAID

  19. Postherpetic Neuralgia (PNH) • The risk of PHN, given an episode of zoster, increases with age. • 10% of patients with zoster • in one-third of zoster patients > 60 y/o • incidence of 14 cases per 10,000 person-years • In addition to advancing age, the severity of acute pain and rash, prodromal pain, ophthalmic location and possibly female sex are also risk factors for PHN

  20. 健保規定為: • 發生皮疹的72hours內 • 一般人治療為五天 • Famciclovir 250mg • TID x 5 Antiviral Treatment for Herpes zoster • The main objectives of antiviral treatment are: • to reduce viral replication, • To reduce duration of rash and acute pain • to prevent complications seen mostly in immunocompromised patients. • early antiviral therapy may also attenuate development of PHN.

  23. Antiviral Treatment for Herpes zoster In Taiwan, the usual dosage for Famciclovir is 250mg TID

  24. Usage of Famciclovir for Herpes zoster • Equal efficacy is noted in RCT 559 immunocompetent adults treated for 7 days (initiated within 72 hours of onset of zoster skin lesions) • famciclovir (750 mg QD, 500 mg BID, or 250 mg TID) • acyclovir (800mg x5/day ). J Clin Virol 2004;29:248-53 • Famciclovir, like acyclovir, has also been shown to reduce the duration of postherpetic neuralgia by a median of 2 months. Ann Intern Med 1995;123:89-96

  25. Rash severity in herpes zoster:Correlates and relationship to postherpetic neuralgiaJ Am Acad Dermatol 2002;46:834-9

  26. BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL 293: 1529, 1986

  27. Frequently descriptions in Textbook or Review Articles • Antiviral drugs have been consistently found to effectively reduce the severity and duration of herpes zoster, and are safe and well tolerated with minimal adverse effects. • They do not, however, reliably prevent the development of postherpetic neuralgia.

  28. ANTIMICROB AGENTS CHEMOTHERA 39:1546–1553, 1995

  29. In Canada • Oral therapy with one of the three antivirals is recommended as first-line treatment for all immunocompetent patients who • consult rapidly (preferably within 72 h of rash onset) • who fulfill any of the following criteria: • 50 years of age or older; • moderate or severe acute pain; • moderate or severe rash; • Nontruncal involvement

  30. Late antiviral treatment • Of note, the 72 h inclusion criterion has been arbitrarily chosen in randomized clinical trials and may not be optimal in clinical practice. • The presence of new vesicles, which reflect active viral replication, may be an alternative way to select patients for antiviral treatment. • Ophthalmic zoster should be treated more aggressively, including referral for eye assessment and starting of antiviral therapy even beyond the 72 h period.

  31. Usage of corticosteroids in HZ • Although showing some benefits in acute zoster pain, corticosteroids do not provide added value over acyclovir in reducing PHN, and are thus not recommended in the initial management of HZ .

  32. Acute pain associated with herpes zoster • Defined as pain before and during blister eruption. • Prodromal pain can consist of various symptoms, e.g. itching, burning, tingling, stubbing, tenderness superficial and deep pain. • Usually moderate-to-severe acute pain caused by acute neuritis, can last for nearly a month. • Pathogenesis of acute pain • an abnormal discharge in the dorsal horn, • by the inflammation of the dorsal root ganglion, • by the extent of the neuritis and the dermal vasculitis.

  33. Use of NSAID in VZV infection

  34. NSAID may induce more infection

  35. Use of NSAID in VZV infection RESULTS • In patients with varicella, there were 386 cases of severe skin or soft tissue complications (rate 2.8 per 1000) during the 2month follow-up period (mean age 10.7 years). The rate of complications associated with exposure to NSAIDs was increased (rate ratio 4.9; 95% CI 2.1, 11.4). • In patients with zoster disease, there were 681 cases of severe skin or soft tissue complications (rate 6.3 per 1000) during the 2month follow-up (mean age 60.9 years). • The rate ratio of complications associated with exposure to NSAIDs was 1.6 (95% CI 1.1, 2.4). In both conditions, there was no increased risk of complication associated with a current exposure to paracetamol. CONCLUSIONS • The use of NSAIDs is associated with an elevated risk of severe skin and soft tissue complications of varicella zoster virus infection, mostly in children with varicella.

  36. Zoster-Associated Pain/Postherpetic Neuralgia pain • Pain that persists beyond a defined period of time is referred to as postherpetic neuralgia. • from 9–14%, Usually in elder, rare in < 50y/o • Although the overall incidence of chronic pain is low, its incidence and severity increases with rising age.

  41. Management of Zoster-assocoated Pain(ZAP) • ZAP : Acute pain associated with rash and PHN. • ZAP may be described as continuous or paroxysmal, evoked or spontaneous, burning or lancinating, and other sensory abnormalities in the skin. • Different (2) pain mechanisms . • Increased excitability of damaged primary afferent neurons causing irritable nociceptors and central sensitization, resulting in pain and allodynia; • Degeneration of nociceptive neurons in dorsal root ganglia or the spinal cord, leading to deafferentation with central hyperactivity, causing pain but typically without allodynia .

  42. Treatment regimensRasi et al. - Acyclovir in treatment of post-herpetic pain J Infect Dev Ctries 2010; 4(11):754-760 • All patients took acyclovir, 800 mg five times a day, for the first four days of the first week, followed by three treatment-free days. In the cases evidence of pain reduction but not CPR, a second course of treatment with the same dosage was offered. The patients were followed for three months without medication

  43. The efficacy of time-based short-course acyclovir therapy in treatment of post-herpetic painJ Infect Dev Ctries 2010; 4(11):754-760. • Group 1 :within 72 hrs, Group 2: after 72 hrs • acyclovir, 800 mg five times a day, x 4 days of the first week, followed by three treatment-free days. If no complete response, treating again. • No significant difference (or no therapeutic effect ?)

  44. Management of ZAP • Perform a medical and psychosocial evaluation and targeted physical examination to confirm the diagnosis, document comorbid illness and provide a basis for treatment. • Elderly patients may be socially isolated, may have cognitive impairment, depression or other life stressors that may impact treatment compliance and outcome. • Anxiety or depression may also develop secondary to severe ZAP and can influence suffering.

  45. Management of ZAP Patient education and general measures: • The disease and its time course should be explained, including the risk of viral transmission to individuals who have not had varicella. • The rash should be kept clean and dry to reduce the risk of secondary bacterial infection. • Acute skin discomfort may be reduced by sterile wet dressings. • Topical antibiotic dressings with adhesives that can cause irritation and delay rash healing should be avoided.

  46. Management of ZAP Pharmacological agents: • ZAP should be assessed early and treatment should begin promptly. • The principles of optimum pain management • use of standardized pain measures, • scheduled analgesia, • consistent and frequent follow-up to adjust dosing to the needs of the patient,

  47. Management of ZAP Pharmacological agents: • It is important to recognize that ZAP changes over time and can become more severe as the acute infection progresses. • The initial choice of treatment approaches depends on the patient’s pain severity, comorbid conditions and on any previous known response to specific medications.
