1. Epidemiology and clinical characteristics of herpes zoster in a tertiary care hospital in Brazil
ABSTRACT Background: There is little information on herpes zoster from hospital registries in South America. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical aspects of herpes zoster (HZ) in hospitalized patients.' Methods: We searched for hospital-based records during the period from March 2000 to January 2017 in a 700-bed tertiary-c

2. Measuring herpes zoster disease burden in São Paulo, Brazil: a clinico-epidemiological single-center study
OBJECTIVES: Herpes zoster is characterized by acute neuritis and post-herpetic neuralgia. Currently, data concerning the zoster-associated impact on quality of life and healthcare resource utilization in Brazil are scarce. This study measured the zoster-associated burden in a Brazilian population. METHODS: This was a prospective, observational, single-coho

3. Methadone in post-herpetic neuralgia: A pilot proof-of-concept study
OBJECTIVE: This research was designed as a pilot proof-of-concept study to evaluate the use of low-dose methadone in post-herpetic neuralgia patients who remained refractory after first and second line post-herpetic neuralgia treatments and had indications for adding an opioid agent to their current drug regimens. METHODS: This cross-over study was double b

4. Chloroquine diphosphate: a risk factor for herpes zoster in patients with dermatomyositis/polymyositis
OBJECTIVES: Herpes zoster has been widely described in the context of different systemic autoimmune diseases but not dermatomyositis/polymyositis. Therefore, we analyzed the prevalence, risk factors and herpes zoster outcomes in this population. METHOD: A retrospective cohort study of herpes zoster infections in dermatomyositis/polymyositis patients was p

5. Avaliação sensitiva orofacial, gustativa, olfativa e salivar em doentes com neuralgias trigeminais / Somesthetic, gustatory, olfactory function and salivary flow in patients with neuropathic trigeminal pain
Trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN) and burning mouth syndrome (BMS) are painful neuropathies with no clear signs about their causes. The objectives of this study were to determine somatosensory, olfactory, gustative and salivary characteristics of patients with PHN, ITN and BMS compared to controls. Twenty patients

6. Report of cases in patients with acute herpetic neuralgia using a Mangifera indica extract
It has been accepted that neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and glial activation are involved in the central sensitization underlying neuropathic and inflammatory pain. Vimang® is the brand name of an aqueous extract of Mangifera indica L., Anacardiaceae, traditionally used in Cuba for its antioxidant, antiinflammatory, analgesic, and immunomodulatory pro

7. Trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia: clinical and orofacial sensitivity evaluation / Neuralgia pós-herpética trigeminal: avaliações clínica e de sensibilidade orofacial
Postherpetic neuralgia is a complication after a varicella-zoster virus infection (VZV), affecting the trigeminal nerve in about 15-25% of the cases. This transversal study had the objective to evaluate the orofacial sensitivity and odontological characteristics of patients with trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia. The instruments used were: mechanical, therma

8. Acyclovir for Treatment of Postherpetic Neuralgia: Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics
Postherpetic neuralgia is the most common complication of herpes zoster (shingles) in the immunocompetent host. Its mechanism is incompletely understood, but one postulate is that continuous replication of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in nerve tissues may be responsible for the pain. If this is so, antiviral treatment could be advantageous. To test this hypo

11. Natural history of herpes zoster ophthalmicus: predictors of postherpetic neuralgia and ocular involvement.
Seventy-one patients presenting with acute herpes zoster ophthalmicus were followed up for six months for a prospective analysis of the natural history of the disease. Acute and chronic ocular complications, nasociliary nerve involvement, age, sex, rash, and pain were assessed, and the results are presented. Acute pain was measured by a visual analogue scale
