55yr old woman starts valacyclovir for a shingles outbreak two days before I see her for lumbar MBB. Out break is on her forehead. She has a few lesions that are not open. At our procedure site injections are cancelled for active infections. My partner recommended I cancel the injection, and just wait until it has run its course and she finishes the med. I wasn't sure what the best course of action was as I hadn't run into this previously. Anyone else run into this? would you cancel or do the procedure?, does the type of procedure change our decision at all? thanks.
