Herpes zoster-induced acute urinary retention: Two cases and literature review
Niger J Clin Pract.
2018 Apr.
Abstract
We report two uncommon cases of acute urinary retention in Chinese patients caused by reactivation of sacral herpes zoster and requiring bladder drainage. Indwelling urinary catheterization, antiviral medication (ganciclovir), and physiotherapy with infrared light (830 nm) led to successful recovery of the micturition reflex in both cases.
Keywords: Acute urinary retention; erythematous rash; herpes zoster.
