In this paper we report on the application of dual-wavelength photodynamic therapy with a topical chlorin-based photosensitizer for treatment of Ramsay Hunt syndrome in a patient with HIV. Traditional treatment approach (combination of acyclovir and a glucocorticosteroid) failed to provide a significant outcome, while photodynamic therapy resulted in fast positive dynamics. No recurrence was observed in a 5-month-long follow-up.
