Favorable outcome after treatment with amantadine and ribavirin in a pregnancy complicated by influenza pneumonia. A case report

B Kirshon et al. J Reprod Med. 1988 Apr.

Abstract

The moderate impairment of cell-mediated immunity that occurs in pregnancy justifies concern when a pregnant woman develops influenza. We treated a woman for influenza pneumonia with respiratory failure at 33 weeks' gestation with oral amantadine and ribavirin inhalation therapy in conjunction with evacuation of the uterus and delivery.
