title: Effects of propylthiouracil on MHV-3 virus mouse hepatitis.
abstract: A study was undertaken to observe the effect of propylthiouracil (PTU) on MHV-3 virus mouse hepatitis. PTU-treatment adversely influenced the course of the hepatitis. This effect was reflected by a significantly higher mortality rate, in spite of the absence of any significant difference of the plasma transaminase activity increase and of the liver virus content.
