Executive Summary
ZOVIRAX VIRAL RESISTANCE NOT OBSERVED IN LONG-TERM USE STUDY in 239 immunocompetent patients published in the June issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases. The study, authored by Kenneth Fife, MD/PhD, Indiana University, et al., observed subjects through six years of daily acyclovir treatment and followed them for one year or two post-treatment herpes recurrences. The researchers found that "even after six years of acyclovir suppression, most patients continue to have recurrences, but the selection of resistant virus has not been observed."
