Herpes Zoster is a disease caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus in immunocompromised patients. The incidence of this disease increases with age, and oral antiviral drugs are the main treatment. This article discusses the case of a 59-year-old man who was undergoing routine hemodialysis and was receiving the oral antiviral drug Acyclovir (800 mg five times a day) as treatment for herpes zoster. Two days after the treatment, the patient experienced neurological symptoms, such as limb weakness, sensory abnormalities, and consciousness disturbance. After hemodialysis, the symptoms showed dramatic improvements. This article attempts to demonstrate the importance of medication history and pharmacodynamic response to drug assessment in patients with chronic kidney disease and can help achieve drug safety in patients with chronic kidney disease.
