A Collaborative Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of Intravenous Ribavirin As a Treatment for Presumed Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
The purpose is to test the safety and effectiveness of intravenous ribavirin therapy in persons with suspected and subsequently proven hantavirus infection. The hantavirus is spread through the air into the lungs when dry rodent feces are moved or disturbed. It is characterized by fever and bleeding.
Patients are randomized to receive either ribavirin or a placebo for 7 days. At the completion of therapy, patients will be seen on follow-up visits on days 14, 28, and 84.
