Abstract
It was possible to prolong the herpes free intervals with combined chemotherapy with 0,3% Ethyl-desoxyuridine (EDU)-Gel during the acute phase and continued application of 0,2% Jodo-desoxyuridine (IDU)-ointment with 1,8% DMSO. The combined chemotherapy did not improve the effect of the treatment with EDU alone in respect of the duration of skin lesions. In 5 out of 8 patients with recurrent cold sores and in 3 out of 10 patients with genital herpes further immunotherapeutical measures were not necessary. The results indicate that beside the chemotherapy of the recurrences with monotherapy a continuous chemoprophylaxis can be successful in patients with recurrent herpes simplex.
