[Use of cytosar (cytosine arabinoside) in the control of herpetic complications in patients with acute leukemia and lymphogranulomatosis].

The authors report the use of the cytostatic drug cytosar in the control of herpetic complications in patients with acute leukemia and lymphogranulomatosis. A distinct effect was obtained as a result of intravenous drip of cytosar in a dose of 0.03-0.05 g for 2 days. It is desirable that cytosar therapy may be instituted within the first days of the development of herpetic infection.
