[The treatment of herpes zoster by ultraviolet actinotherapy. Study of 200 cases (author's transl)].

The authors analysed the cases of 200 patients treated for early herpes zoster by ultraviolet actinotherapy. This simple treatment should ideally be applied: - to clean skin, without dye nor ointment; - over the entire root area, and not only to the vesicles; - obtaining from the outset frank erythema, uniform, and without a healthy skin interval. Under these conditions, 95% of successful results were obtained in 3 to 8 days. The occasional failures appear to be related either to faulty technique or to a deep-seated localisation beyond the fied of action of the ultraviolet rays.
