Table 1 shows the details of facial palsy.<BR>According to measurement of varicella zoster virus and herpes simplex virus (HSV) antibody titre (EIA or ELISA) in 37 subjects symptomatically diagnosed as Bell's palsy, the following results were obtained: these contained 6 patients with zoster sine herpete (ZSH) and 2 cases of HSV involvement, and one of two was likely to be the primary infection of HSV.<BR>Furthermore, in the incidence of Bell's palsy, Hunt's syndrome and ZSH, there was no significant difference between children of this study and adults with facial palsy which we reported in 1992.
