Effect of Povidone-Iodine on Herpesvirus, Type 2, In Vitro

MARVIN S. AMSTEY, MD, FACOG and SALLY METCALF

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Highland Hospital, Rochester, New York

Abstract

Povidone-iodine solution (Betadine) at concentrations of 0.167% (v/v) reduced the end-point titers of Strain E.M. herpesvirus, type 2, by more than 99.99%. Even at concentrations of 0.0167% (v/v), povidone-iodine solution reduced the titers by 92%. The iodine solution, per se, had no effect on cultured human fibroblasts in concentrations of 1.67% (v/v).
