It is a prodrug and can be rapidly converted into acyclovir in vivo (1 3). In addition to neurotoxicity, acute kidney injury is a well-described side effect of acyclovir administration, since crystal deposition may lead to the development of renal failure (4,5). The side-effects of acyclovir therapy are not well recognized by clinicians.

The risk of deposition of acyclovir crystals in the kidney can be avoided by slow drug infusion over 1 to 2 h and volume repletion. Acyclovir-induced renal injury without acyclovir crystal obstruction is also described [21,22]. Another important side effect of acyclovir is neurological toxicity, mainly in patients with renal failure.

one of my own pet peeves, sorry
The story was awesome...
