Abstract
Postherpetic neuralgia is a chronic pain syndrome that is often difficult to treat and can lead to a disabling disease if it is resistant to therapy. Presented here is the case of a 46-year-old patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection and chronic, treatment-resistant neuralgia. Postherpetic pain resolved after treatment with 1 cycle of subcutaneous recombinant interleukin-2.
