[Experience in treating a herpetic infection with trypsin].

Abstract

Results are reported of trypsin treatment of 150 patients with herpetic infection (age of the patients: from 7 to 65 years). The results were compared with routine treatment in 200 patients. High efficacy of trypsin treatment as compared with routine treatment methods has been revealed. Trypsin treatment results in control of the pathological signs and symptoms not only in the acute period but also resulted in absence of recurrences of the infection and postherpetic neuralgia for 3 successive years. The efficacy of trypsin treatment has been thus established and the necessity of active detection and treatment of chronic carriers of herpetic infection by the proposed method is advocated.
