The purpose of the present study was to examine the emergence of ganciclovir-resistant
virus in the contralateral eyes of patients who received treatment for cytomegalovirus retinitis …

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 …

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether cytomegalovirus resistant to ganciclovir, detected in either
the blood or urine, correlates with adverse ocular outcomes. DESIGN: Prospective cohort …

Purpose Resistance to antiviral therapy is a potential cause of progression of
cytomegalovirus retinitis in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. We …
