Three hundred and one patients with acute herpes zoster treated early with oral acyclovir were enrolled in an open, prospective study designed to evaluate painful and neurologic disorders over a 6-month period. Age, initial pain severity, and occurrence of a neurologic deficit influenced the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia. No relationship was found between initial rash severity and either pain incidence or neurologic deficit.
