  • Title: In vivo inhibition of respiratory syncytial virus by ribavirin.
    Author: Hruska JF, Morrow PE, Suffin SC, Douglas RG.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1982 Jan; 21(1):125-30. PubMed ID: 7044296.
    Abstract:
    Ribavirin reduced the amount of respiratory syncytial virus in nasal turbinates and lung tissues of experimentally infected cotton rats by over 90%. An effect was seen when the drug was given either intraperitoneally or by aerosol; however, the antiviral effect was achieved at much lower doses when delivered by the aerosol route. No animal deaths due to the drug were seen.
