[Specific immunostimulation in the therapy of recurrent herpes simplex type I or II].

The results of a study on the efficacy and tolerability of an immunotherapy with viral inactivated products in comparison with the usual antivirals on patients affected with herpes simplex I or II, are presented. The very good results obtained with the vaccine concerning frequency, intensity and duration of relapses (67% of cases with complete absence of relapse) are in good relation with an active stimulation due to the drug on the cell-mediated component of the immunity response. The examined antivirals allow to obtain a significant decrease of the intensity and duration of the relapses without interfering in any way with the immunity system.

Effects of topical treatment with piroxicam on prostaglandin synthesis in experimental uveitis.

We have assessed the efficacy of 0.5% piroxicam collyrium applied for 15 days to the eyes of rabbits in which uveitis had been experimentally induced. The results demonstrate the capability of the drug to easily overcome the ocular barrier. On the 30th day, a clear regression of the uveitis symptoms was observed, the hyperaemia having completely disappeared. By means of radioimmunological assay (RIA), it was found that the increased PGF2 alpha concentration in the aqueous humour had returned to normal levels.
