Abstract
A genital herpesvirus type 2 infection in guinea pigs has been used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of phosphonoformate on the infection. An early topical treatment prevented the appearance of vesicles and histopathological changes and no virus could be recovered. When treatment, either topical or both systemic and topical, was delayed to 24 hours post infection no therapeutic effect was observed.
