Abstract

SUMMARY

Studies were performed to compare the therapeutic effectiveness of three antiviral drugs (ARA-A, ARA-C and IDU) on the course of fatal disseminated vaccinia virus infection in immunosuppressed mice. Treatment with ARA-A begun as late as 7 days after virus infection was significantly effective in preventing death; no antiviral effect of the other two drugs was demonstrated.
