In this case, treatment with a drug that has strong antiviral activity may have a higher therapeutic efficacy in immunosuppressed patients compared with immunocompetent individuals infected with RSV because of the reduction in pulmonary damage caused by excessive viral replication. Although normal cotton rats treated with saline cleared RSV by day 10 post infection, immunosuppressed saline-treated animals had~6 log 10 PFU of virus in their lungs and noses at that time. To determine whether RI-002 has an effect on pulmonary pathology associated with prolonged RSV replication in immunosuppressed animals, lung tissue was collected for histopathology analysis on day 10 post infection. ./cache/cord-268038-9jjpc1a2.txt ./txt/cord-268038-9jjpc1a2.txt
