Abstract
Male patients (23) with herpes simplex virus type 2 blisters on the prepuce, glans penis and penile shaft were divided into 2 groups. Ten patients served as controls and 13 patients were treated with ultrasound (1 w/cm2 for 60 s) and Herpigon on 3 consecutive days. Results showed a negative virus culture after 3 days of treatment and significant reduction of recurrent infection in the treated group while the control group experienced recurrent infection within 62-80 days. This method offers a new therapeutic treatment for genital herpes simplex virus.
