Study of the effect of L-Lysine-α-oxidase gel on development of eye and skin herpetic lesions in rabbits

The effect of various doses of L-lysine-a-oxidase gel (1.4 - 3.5 and 70 mcg/ml) on development of eye and skin herpetic lesions due to type 1 herpes simplex virus was studied on rabbits. The doses of 1.4 to 3.5 mcg/ml were not sufficient for the therapeutic effect. The dose of 70 mcg/ml provided complete healing of the lesions in 3 to 4 days. The results were confirmed by the immunological tests.
