Medical Therapy
Medical management of VHF patients may require intensive supportive care. Antiviral therapy with intravenous ribavirin may be useful in Bunyaviridae and Arenaviridae infections (specifically Lassa fever, RVF, CCHF, and HFRS due to Old World Hantavirus infection) and can be used only under an experimental protocol as a US FDA approved investigational new drug (IND). Convalescent plasma may be effective in Argentine or Bolivian hemorrhagic fevers (also available only as IND).
