The development of the antiherpetic therapeutical system was remarkable in the last decade. Nucleoside analogs (5-iodine-2-deoxiuridine, citodine-arabinotide, adenine-arabinotide), as well as specific inhibitors of viruses (Zovirax or Acyclovir) are active medicines for both local and wide-spread forms of the herpes virus infection.
