[Improved immunocompetence in two children with chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection under treatment with a standardized thymus hormone preparation (thymostimulin)].
Two children with chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection were treated with a standardized thymic hormone preparation (thymostimulin, TP-1 Serono). The treatment was well tolerated. No adverse reactions, no side effects were observed. Results of immunological investigations showed a trend towards normalisation. Additional clinical evidence showed up, which pointed to a response to the therapy.
