Fig. 6. Virus titers in tissue from 10-day-old mice infected with EV-D68 and treated with guanidine.
Mice (n = 5/group) were treated b.i.d. × 5 days beginning 4 h post-infection. Guanidine treatment at 100 mg/kg/day decreased virus tissue titers by at least 2-logs in all tissues that were evaluated. Reductions to virus titers in the spinal cord and brain are likely responsible for increases in survival. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001.
