A woman aged 70 years developed reversible renal involvement during intravenous treatment with acyclovir. In order to prevent renal involvement during treatment with acyclovir, the following precautions are recommended: acyclovir should be infused slowly, regular control of renal function should be undertaken and the dosage should be reduced if evidence of renal involvement is found.
