Abstract Treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis with oral ganciclovir results in
relatively low plasma concentrations of drug, which theoretically could cause more frequent …

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is among the most common opportunistic infections in
patients with AIDS and a substantial cause of visual loss. With long-term therapy, resistant …

Background. In the mid-1990s, the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) resistance to
ganciclovir was estimated to be∼ 25% by 1 year after diagnosis of retinitis in patients with …

Objectives: To determine whether recurrence of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) viraemia
during maintenance ganciclovir for cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis correlates with (i) CMV …

Infections caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) resistantin vitroto ganciclovir, defined as
requiring> 6 µmol of ganciclovir for ED50 have developed in some AIDS patients with …
