Case Reports

Case #1:

A 70 year-old female developed right eye pain, swelling of the area around the eye and blisters on the forehead which progressed over 3-4 days. A diagnosis of ophthalmic herpes zoster was made. She then began to suffer from right-side headaches and tingling and pain over her eye consistent with post-herpetic neuralgia. She began Enercel Mist administration to her right eye every 2-3 hours as well as Enercel intravenously (once daily) for 5 days. The swelling and eye pain began to quickly improve and then resolved. More significantly, her neurogenic headaches and supraorbital pain gradually diminished and then resolved over about 7 days.

Case #2:

A 65 year old female complained that her scalp on the right side was painful when touched.  This continued for several days and then she developed several red, raised papules on the right side of her scalp. These were painful when touched.  Insect bites were initially suspected, but the lesions were painful rather than itchy.  In following days she developed more on her right forehead and eyelid and the diagnosis of shingles was made. She started taking Enercel Max 10 drops three times daily and she also sprayed Enercel directly on the lesions every 4 to 6 hours.  Within 24 hour the pain was starting to subside and several days later it was gone.  No new lesions presented themselves and the original ones dried up.  After two weeks of Enercel the lesions were barely visible without scarring. There were no recurrences.
