Use of interferon in cytomegalovirus infections in man
Tex Rep Biol Med.
1977.
Abstract
Human CMV is relatively sensitive to the antiviral effects of interferon in vitro. No controlled studies of interferon in human CMV infections have been reported. On the basis of case reports published to date, its usefulness in CMV infections of newborns or transplant recipients is unclear. Double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of interferon prophylaxis against CMV infections in renal transplant recipients are currently underway.
