A Bapid Micromethod for Evaluating the Sensitivity of Ocular Herpes Simplex Strains to Antiviral Drugs
Conference paper
Abstract
Treatment for Herpes Simplex virus (HSV) infections was now possible with the use of different antiviral agents. Recently, Acyclovir (ACV) has been introduced as a potent and selective anti Herpes agent with low host cell toxicity. A micromethod for evaluating the drug sensitivity of the HSV strains in vitro was established. This study reports the preliminary results observed with ACV.
