  • Title: Acycloguanosine therapy of the localized form of herpes simplex virus infection in a low-birth-weight infant.
    Author: Futamura M, Nagae H, Ishikawa K, Ouchi M, Kuroyanagi M, Morishima T.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr; 1983 Dec; 141(2):113-4. PubMed ID: 6662139.
    Abstract:
    It is known that the localized form of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection does not always show a good prognosis. A preterm infant who evidenced skin and tongue lesions, caused by HSV type 1, was treated by acycloguanosine. The result was satisfactory without any complications. Therefore, a localized form of HSV infection of the newborn infant, even though the patient has a low-birth-weight, should be treated by the drug immediately after the observation of the positive HSV culture.
