ABSTRACT Papillomatosls is a potentially life-threatening proliferative lesion of the larynx; a viral etiology is postulated. Repeated recurrence can occur requiring frequent surgery for


maintenance of a patent airway. The synthetic interferon inducer polylnosinic-polycytidillc acid stabilized with poly-L-lysine (Poly ICLC) was used l.v. In 6 patients. Doses ranged from 2.5


mg/m2 to 12 mg/m2 t.i.w. for a three month course. In all patients a marked decrease in the requirement for surgery was seen. No regression of pulmonary lesions was seen in 3/3 patients with


such lesions. Toxiclty consisted of fever, nausea and headache; mild neutropenla lasting 1-3 days and transient transaminase elevations. Variable serum interferon titers ranging from


100-3000 units were seen 8 hours after each dose (peak titer). The dramatic decrease in the requirement for surgery in these patients suggests that additional studies of antiviral agents in


papillomatous diseases are indicated. Supported in part by General Clinical Research Center-Pediatrics grant RR-0052 and General Research grant RR-0046. ARTICLE PDF AUTHOR INFORMATION
