Effect of Acyclovir on Recurrence of Herpes Simplex Skin Lesions in Mice (original) (raw)

Tools

Abstract

SUMMARY

Acyclovir (ACV) was effective in preventing recurrence of herpes simplex in mice whose skin was stripped with cellophane tape. Treatment with ACV did not eliminate latent herpes simplex virus from the cervical ganglia.
