要約 目的:独居認知症患者で介護サービスと連携して治療を行った眼部帯状疱疹の1例の報告。症例:77歳女性が左眼深部痛を主訴に受診。所見:左眼部に水痘を認め,帯状疱疹と診断した。アシクロビルの点滴を3日間行い,ステロイド点眼を処方した。深部痛と疱疹は軽減したが,左眼に角膜浮腫が出現した。薬を入手しておらず,全く点眼していなかったことから,独居の認知症と判明した。訪問看護による点眼の確認作業を要請した。初診から12日後に,左眼の角膜浮腫が軽減した。結論:独居認知症患者の早期発見と早期対応は困難であり,地域包括支援センターとの連携が必要である。

She was diagnosed with herpes zoster. She was treated by intravenous acyclovir and topical instillation of dexamethasone. Corneal edema appeared after herpes zoster alleviated 4 days later. It became apparent that she was not using eyedrops altogether, leading to the discovery that she had dementia and that she was living alone. Treatment by visiting nurse was started. Corneal edema improved 12 days after her initial visit. Conclusion:This case illustrates the difficulty in diagnosis and treatment when the patient has dementia and is living alone. There is an urgent need of comprehensive care for each district.
