Abstract We report a haemodialysis patient with end-stage renal failure whom a pharmacist aided in the management of acyclovir (ACV) encephalopathy, which may have been related to valacyclovir hydrochloride (VACV) administered without sufficient dose reduction. The patient 78 years was admitted with a tentative diagnosis of varicella zoster viral meningitis. A pharmacist suspected ACV encephalopathy related to excessive VACV administration and raised a query with the attending physician. According to the pharmacist's proposal, ACV administration was discontinued and continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) was performed. On day 5 of hospitalisation, the consciousness disorder was improved. In this report, we showed the detailed CHDF conditions of the present case, and the contribution of a pharmacist to treating and avoiding ACV encephalopathy was discussed.
