Background/purpose: Infrared thermal images in patients suffering from herpes zoster (HZ) may exhibit thermal asymmetry due to the unilateral distribution of HZ lesions. This study examined the usefulness of infrared thermography in acute HZ as a predictor for the development of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).
Methods: The authors collected demographic and clinical data including age, sex, onset of skin lesion, pain intensity by a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the development of PHN from a total of 55 patients diagnosed with HZ. We evaluated the body surface thermographic parameters between ...
