Abstract

The article describes the effectiveness of topical treatment of herpes labialis in children. The results of the study showed that the effectiveness of 5 % acyclovir cream was higher at the beginning of the treatment in the prodromal period. 1 % penciclovir cream (both in the prodromal period and acute stage) was reported to be the most effective. Both drugs reduce the severity of clinical manifestations of herpes labialis; however, they fail to prevent further episodes of herpes labialis.

Keywords
