Herpes simplex encephalitis: treatment with adenine arabinoside and cytosine arabinoside
Abstract
A series of three infants with herpes simplex encephalitis is reported, together with details of treatment with adenine arabinoside and cytosine arabinoside. The former appears to be the most effective treatment available. A more aggressive approach is urged in the diagnosis and treatment of this serious infantile disorder.
