Acyclovir-resistant, pathogenic herpesviruses.

D M Coen1.   

Abstract

In herpes simplex virus, the simplest path to resistance to the drug acyclovir is a mutation that knocks out the enzyme thymidine kinase. Such mutants are highly attenuated in mouse models of viral pathogenesis, but have been reported to be associated with severe disease in immunocompromised patients. This review discusses possible resolution of this paradox.
