title: [Treatment of zoster oticus with acyclovir. Report from general practice and a small hospital department].
abstract: Findings in patients having zoster oticus infection are reported following treatment in an oto-rhino-laryngological practice connected to a small hospital department. Treatment involved intravenous administration of acyclovir and-in most cases-additional infusions of dextran, cortisone and naftidrofuryl, as adapted from a drug regimen proposed by Stennert. Although treatment was not effective in all cases, several very good results and some partial results were found that justified continued use of this combination therapy.
