[The effect of epicutaneous heparin treatment].
Former suggestions that local treatment with external heparin could accelerate healing of zoster could be confirmed. The antitoxic and antiphlogistic components of heparin could be proved by long-term pre-treatment with heparin ointment, based on clinical experimental trials of inhibition of the pyrexal reaction and reduction of erythema, weal and heat radiation produced by histamin and bradykinin i.c. The effectiveness of heparin could be presumed more in its character as a linear anionic polyelectrolyte than as effect on the coagulation process.
