Acyclovir (Figure 49-2) is an acyclic guanosine derivative with clinical activity against HSV-1, HSV-2, and VZV. In vitro activity against Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, and human herpesvirus-6 is present but comparatively weaker. [Pg.1119]

Mode of action Like acyclovir, ganciclovir is activated through conversion to the nucleoside triphosphate by viral and cellular enzymes, the actual pathway depending on the virus. Cytomegalovirus is deficient in thymidine kinase, and therefore forms the triphosphate by another route. The nucleotide competitively inhibits viral DNA polymerase and can be incorporated into the DNA to decrease the rate of chain elongation. [Pg.377]

Nonpolio enteroviruses such as coxsackieviruses A and B, echo viruses, and enteroviruses 70 and 71 cause approximately 85% of all viral encephalitis cases. The remaining 10% to 15% of viral encephalitis cases are caused by a variety of pathogens, such as arboviruses, adenoviruses, influenzae virus A and B, rotavirus, corona virus, cytomegalovirus, varicella-zoster, herpes simplex virus, Epstein-Barr virus, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis. In the past, the St. Louis and LaCrosse viruses have been the most common cause... [Pg.1937]

They also developed a sensor for the detection of herpes viruses [43]. The sensor was used to specifically detect five hiunan herpes viruses, herpes simplex type 1 and 2, viracella-zoster virus, cytomegalovirus and Epstein-barr virus. Of the immobilisation procedures tested, protein A was best in terms of reusability, sensitivity and stabihty. Each virus was measured hnearly from 54 to 1 X 10 virions/crystal. The sensor was reusable 18 times and stable for 8 weeks without detectable loss in activity. When apphed to complex human specimen no non-specific effects were observed and the sensor performed identically for each virus as it did in buffer. [Pg.267]

Viral retinitis may be caused by herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), adenovirus, and varicella zoster virus. With the highly active antiretroviral therapy (see Chapter 50), CMV retinitis does not appear to progress when specific anti-CMV therapy is discontinued, but some patients develop an immune recovery uveitis. Treatment usually involves long-term parenteral administration of antiviral drugs. Intravitreal administration of ganciclovir has been found to be an effective... [Pg.1101]
