Phosphonoacetic acid in the treatment of experimental herpes simplex keratitis

D D Gerstein et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1975 Mar.

Abstract

In a rabbit model of herpes simplex corneal ulceration, 5% phosphonoacetic acid solution or ophthalmic ointment suppressed clinical disease and virus replication. The effect of 5% phosphonoacetic acid ointment was equivalent to that of 0.5% idoxuridine ointment in the treatment of this established herpetic eye infection.
