Administration of cyclophosphamide (CY) to guinea pigs infected with a lethal strain of Junin virus (JV) delayed the time of death, with survival of a small number of animals. Virological studies showed a temporary decrease of virus concentration in blood and viscera shortly after the CY injection.

Guinea pigs infected with Argentine hemorrhagic fever virus (Junin) were treated with pooled, homologous convalescent sera. Use of 15,000 or 5,000 therapeutic units of immune sera prevented all signs of illness when administered within 24 hr of infection. We could also prevent illness and death in i
