  • Title: Topical cidofovir for the treatment of dermatologic conditions: verruca, condyloma, intraepithelial neoplasia, herpes simplex and its potential use in smallpox.
    Author: Toro JR, Sanchez S, Turiansky G, Blauvelt A.
    Journal: Dermatol Clin; 2003 Apr; 21(2):301-9. PubMed ID: 12757253.
    Abstract:
    Cidofovir is a new antiviral drug that has a broad spectrum of activity against several DNA viruses. Many of the disorders caused by these viruses do not have satisfactory therapy, and given the efficacy of this agent in treating many of these conditions, it holds great promise. It is hoped that ongoing studies will confirm the initial anecdotal reports regarding its therapeutic efficacy and lack of systemic side effects. It is also hoped that the cost to formulate and use cidofovir topically will eventually decrease to a level that will allow more widespread use of this drug.
