The patients treated were as follows: 29 patients suffering from mumps, 14 patients suffering from rubella, 27 patients suffering from measles, and 8 patients suffering from chickenpox. Circulating interferon was detected in the sera of 61 acute patients treated. The positive sera were all those obtained within the first seven days of the acute illness, but no ihnibitor was detected in those sera which were obtained later. Sixteen samples of saliva from patients with mumps were tested for the sole aim to detect interferon in them. No correlation was observed to exist between the age of patients or the severity of the clinical courses, and the presence of interferon; however, all patients with detectable interferon were found febrile at the time of sampling.}, pages = {113--120}, title = {Clinical Studies of Interferon : (I) Interferon Production in Children with Viral Diseases}, volume = {32}, year = {1969} }
