Abstract

In a randomized double-blind trial of aerosolized ribavirin for the treatment of influenza B virus infection, no significant difference was found in the febrile course or symptom score of the ribavirin-treated versus placebo-treated patients. The apparent lack of efficacy in this study as compared with that in previous studies is unexplained.
