โœฆ Synopsis

Foscarnet was administered to eight AIDS patients for suspected cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonitis as a continuous intravenous infusion for a minimum of 8 days. All the patients improved, three showing complete resolution of symptoms. Evidence of CMV infection from bronchoalveolar lavage samples was lacking in two patients. Adverse drug experiences consisted of thrombophlebitis, transient decreases in haemoglobin concentration, and reversible rises in serum creatinine levels.

In 30 patients with pneurnonitis, 16 of whom had undergone bone marrow transplantation, 13 episodes of cytornegalovirus (CMV) pneumonitis were diagnosed. In three of these, alpha-interferon, which in two cases was partially acid-labile, was detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. All three of thes

It has been suggested that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) glycoprotein B (gB) genotypes could be used as a marker for viral virulence in patients with AIDS. The present study was designed to evaluate a possible association between specific gB genotypes, the presence of HCMV retinitis, and the HCMV vir
