We thank readers for interest in our manuscript entitled with “High-thoracic ultrasound
guided erector spinae plane block for acute herpes zoster pain management in emergency
department” [
[1]
]. We also applaud all commenters that the authors precisely read and viewed our article
in detail. Before answering questions and suggestions, we have considered that it
is appropriate to introduce some basic/fundamental information about varicella zoster
infection, pain control, cervical and thoracic dermatomes.- Tekin E.
