Ten patients with vulvovaginal cervical herpesvirus infections were treated with a regimen of external and intravaginal povidone-iodine preparations. In all but 1 case, the expected duration of symptoms and healing time were shortened. The response of cervical lesions was especially remarkable. The findings of this pilot study warrant further controlled clinical investigation.
