Résumé des preuves et recommandation du comité d'experts
Ribavirin was added to the main list in March 2007 for use for viral haemorrhagic fevers, including use in children. The Subcommittee recommended that this be included on the list as essential for children but, given concerns about potential inappropriate use of this medicine in children, added a note that it was for the treatment of viral haemorrhagic fevers only.
