Complex management of resistant oral herpes simplex virus infection following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: potential role of topical cidofovir.
Supportive Care in Cancer 2016 August
PURPOSE: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection commonly occurs during the immunosuppression associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Prophylaxis of recurrent infection and management of clinical infection have relied upon acyclovir and congeners. More recently, resistant HSV infection is seen in HSCT and presents new challenges in management. We present a case of HSV following HSCT that provided effective symptomatic management.
RESULTS: Oral symptoms and lesions were repeatedly reduced when topical cidofovir was used, strongly supporting the effect of cidofovir used in a host who could not tolerate systemic antiviral medications.
CONCLUSIONS: Topical cidofovir can provide effective management of symptomatic oropharyngeal HSV while reducing risk of systemic toxicity and drug interaction and represents an additional approach to management for management in medically compromised patients.
