Plant and animal steroids a new hope to search for antiviral agents
Scientific literature provides evidence about the use of steroids as an adjunct treatment to antiviral therapies. Immunomodulatory activity of some steroids would account for the recovery in patients with herpetic and other viral infections. However, in vitro studies have demonstrated a direct antiv...
