Timely relationship between laboratory values (LDH = lactate dehydrogenase and ALAT = alanine aminotransferase) and therapeutic measures in patient 10. 48 h after discontinuation of steroid treatment and initiation of antiviral treatment with acyclovir, liver enzymes continued to increase whereas liver function parameters declined (not shown). Addition of cidofovir (single dose) to acyclovir was followed by a rapid and sustained normalization of liver function parameters.
