Abstract
Bromovinyldeoxyuridine is a potent and safe antiherpes compound that in combination with a placebo treatment promoted the partial and complete healing of herpetic epithelial disease in 22 patients in average times of 4-6 days and 8.5 days respectively. However, when BVDU was combined with 1.5 X 10(6) IU of recombinant a 2C interferon, partial and complete healing times for keratitis in 19 patients were reduced to 2-6 days and 4-6 days respectively. No toxic effects of the medications were observed in any patient.Entities:
