Murine cytomegalovirus was inhibited by 0.6 to 1.2 mug of cytosine arabinoside per ml and by 0.3 to 0.6 mug of 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine in mouse embryo fibroblast cells. Human cytomegalovirus was inhibited by similar concentrations of the two drugs in WI-38 cells. Intraperitoneal inoculation of suckling mice with 10(4.5) plaque-forming units of murine cytomegalovirus provides a model for disseminated human cytomegalovirus infection in human newborn infants and is characterized by a widespread infection involving the liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and brain with a 70 to 90% mortality in 7 to 9 days. Treatment with 12.5 mg of cytosine arabinoside per kg or 25 mg of 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine per kg twice daily for 8 days had no effect on final mortality or the pathogenesis of the infection with the exception of reduced viral titers in the spleen of 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine-treated animals. These data indicate that neither cytosine arabinoside nor 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine are effective in the treatment of murine cytomegalovirus infections in suckling mice and suggest that they may be of limited value in the treatment of severe cytomegalovirus infections in human neonates.
