内容説明

The excitement surrounding research in antiviral chemotherapy is comparable to that generated by the discovery of penicillin in the 1940s. Antiviral Chemotherapy: New Directions for Clinical Application and Research presents the latest findings on several important topics including interferon, amantadine (used in influenza prophylaxis), and current controversies in clinical management. Providing a comprehensive, up-to-date and in-depth review of the subject, this book examines antiviral chemotherapy from the standpoint of individual drugs (mechanism of action, spectrum, pharmacology, clinical efficacy) as well as from the perspective of the clinician managing specific antiviral infections (appropriate diagnostic tests, indications for antiviral therapy, and selection from among available chemotherapeutic agents). This information will be of use to scientists and physicians with a special interest in infectious diseases. This volume contains the edited proceedings of the conference on antiviral chemotherapy held in San Francisco, November 4-6, 1985.
