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

Objectives: To study the temporal relationships between cytomegalovirus (CMV) viral load
and specific UL97 mutations in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) and plasma samples …

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

Objective: To investigate the correlation between genotypic studies performed on blood
leukocytes and phenotypic results obtained from the corresponding blood viral isolates in …

Abstract Background The cytomegalovirus (CMV) UL97 gene can be sequenced either from
blood specimens directly amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or from culture …

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 …

Objective To investigate whether low ganciclovir serum levels in patients on maintenance
oral ganciclovir therapy are associated with recurrence of CMV retinitis. Methods A …

To investigate the role of antiviral drug resistance in cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease
progression, CMV cultured from an AIDS patient who developed progressive CMV disease …
