Question:medium

Which of the following antiviral drug is available for treatment of lumpy skin disease in cow?

Show Hint

No approved antiviral exists for this viral cattle disease, treatment is supportive.
  • Amantadine
  • Cidofovir
  • Tenofovir
  • No Drug Available
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Look at what LSD actually is before checking the drug options. It is a pox virus infection of cattle, spread mainly by biting insects. None of Amantadine, Cidofovir or Tenofovir has approval or established field use for this disease, since these drugs target unrelated viruses. Current management of LSD relies only on supportive treatment, wound care and control of secondary infection, plus vaccination for prevention, not on a curative antiviral. $\boxed{\text{No Drug Available}}$
