Gm. Ignatyev et al., EXPERIMENTAL-STUDY OF THERAPY OF MARBURG HEMORRHAGIC-FEVER WITH DESFERAL, RIBAVIRIN AND HOMOLOGOUS INTERFERON, Voprosy virusologii, 41(5), 1996, pp. 206-209
The paper presents data on the effects of the drugs desferal, ribaviri
n and homologous (guinea pig) interferon on the course of experimental
Marbug fever. Neither ribavirin nor interferon were effective. A mode
rate response to desferal was noted. It is suggested that tumor necros
is factor may contribute to development of Marburg hemorrhagic fever.
