Method for treating viral diseases with attenuated virus

摘要

A method for treating human disease of viral etiology which employs the administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of a live attenuated virus. Avian paramyxovirus is the virus preferred for use in live attenuated vaccine form, although other viruses of human and nonhuman origin have also been shown to be effective. The administration of a pharmaceutically effective amount of avian paramyxovirus and avian rotavirus vacciine has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of Herpes virus infections, hepatitis-A, some cancers, aphthous stomatitis, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and polyarteritis nodosa.
