@Mercede49161978@ContinuumAEP@aepediatria El panadizo herpético empieza con sensación de hormigueo, y puede causar dolor intenso, eritema y edema del dedo; en ocasiones, fiebre y adenopatía.
Aparecen vesículas coalescentes en la falange, generalmente después de 2 o 3 días de comenzado el dolor. 3/8
@Mercede49161978@ContinuumAEP@aepediatria El dolor intenso puede simular un panadizo común, pero el panadizo herpético se diferencia por la ausencia de tensión en la pulpa o por la presencia de vesículas. 4/8
@Mercede49161978@ContinuumAEP@aepediatria El panadizo herpético también puede imitar a otras infecciones virales en la mano (p. ej., el virus coxsackie) o a una paroniquia. 5/8
@Mercede49161978@ContinuumAEP@aepediatria El aciclovir tópico o sistémico puede acortar la duración de un primer episodio y controlar las manifestaciones de la recidiva si se administra inmediatamente después del comienzo de los síntomas
Las vesículas abiertas deben cubrirse para prevenir la transmisión. 8/8 #medicina
