Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In some children, treatment with acyclovir is an alternative to vaccination for the treatment and prevention of chickenpox."4.80Antiviral drugs in healthy children. ( Margo, KL; Shaughnessy, AF, 1998)
" This allowed a total dosage not much less than might have been given by other routes, but with the advantage that it was evenly deposited over the surface of the infected respiratory tract beginning within seconds of the start of treatment and reached higher concentration in nasal secretions than in serum."3.76Chemotherapy of respiratory viruses. ( Gilbert, BE; Knight, V, 1986)
"(table: see text) For influenza A virus infections, both oral amantadine and rimantadine are effective when used for seasonal prophylaxis and for prophylaxis in institutional populations."3.75Clinical applications of antiviral agents for chemophrophylaxis and therapy of respiratory viral infections. ( Hayden, FG, 1985)
" These questions concern appropriate routes of administration for antiviral compounds, optimal dosage regimens, risks of long-term prophylaxis, and the emergence of resistant organisms."2.66Antiviral chemotherapy and chemoprophylaxis. ( Dolin, R, 1985)
"However, comparing rhinovirus and influenza, there is no doubt that influenza viruses produce more severe symptoms."2.39Viral respiratory infections in the community: epidemiology, agents, and interventions. ( Monto, AS, 1995)
