How many days in a row do I need to use the lectroject with acyclovir cream? How do I know that the coxsackie virus is gone?

Answer
A typical coxsackie Lectroject acyclovir treatment course is a ½ hour session daily for 10 to 15 treatments after which the virus should be eradicated.

Coxsackie tests and diagnosis

If you have symptoms of coxsackie, a viral tests can be done to identify the virus. Blood tests can indicate special proteins in your blood (antibodies) that are created by your immune system when you have the coxsackievirus. The virus can also be detected by cultures or by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test from blood, other body fluids or a tissue biopsy.
