Whereas valacyclovir is widely used and is recommended by some authors in moderately immunocompromised HIV-infected patients, its use has not been validated by clinical studies. We report a case of herpes zoster in an HIV-infected patient for whom neurologic complication was not avoided despite valacyclovir therapy. Clinical outcome was favorable after intravenous acyclovir. This case suggests careful monitoring of valacyclovir in HIV-infected patients is necessary.
