RESUMO

The effects of 9-[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxymethyl]guanine, or ganciclovir, administered during the immediate posttransplant period to dogs given total-body irradiation and autologous marrow transplants were studied. Doses of ganciclovir of 3.0 mg/kg (body weight) per day were well tolerated without detectable delay in hematopoietic recovery, whereas doses of 5.0 mg/kg per day were associated with delayed platelet recovery.
