OBJECTIVE
To compare the safety and efficacy or oral ganciclovir with intravenous ganciclovir for the maintenance therapy of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in AIDS patients.
METHODS
Multicenter, randomized, open-label study, with both masked and unmasked ophthalmic assessments.
METHODS
Patients
Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is rarely thought to be the cause of significant gastrointestinal infection in immunocompetent children. CMV colitis is seldom observed in young infants. This study aims to examine the clinical features of CMV colitis in Chinese children.Methods:
Valganciclovir, an oral prodrug of the anti-cytomegalovirus (CMV) agent ganciclovir, was evaluated in a single-arm open-label safety study. AIDS patients (median CD4 lymphocyte count of 140 cells/microL) with treated CMV retinitis (N = 212) received 900-mg once-daily valganciclovir maintenance
Twenty-three susceptible pregnant heifers were inoculated with bovine viral diarrhea virus at 150 +/- 1 days of gestation. Seven additional heifers were inoculated between 65 and 115 days of gestation. Acute ocular lesions were seen in fetuses taken 17-21 days after inoculation of the dams at 150
Disseminated protothecosis, due to Prototheca wickerhamii, was present in a two-year-old female dog with a nine-month history of hemorrhagic colitis and diarrhea. Shortly thereafter, the dog developed "acute blindness" of the left eye. Euthanasia was done after medical therapy failed to control the
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) can be an important opportunistic infection in HIV-1-infected patients, particularly when the CD4+ T-cell count drops below 50 lymphocytes/mm3. CMV-associated disease, including retinitis, pneumonitis, gastroenteritis, and encephalitis, is estimated to affect up to 40% of AIDS
Of 760 AIDS patients seen at San Francisco General Hospital in 1986, 5.7 per cent had retinitis and 2.2 per cent had gastrointestinal disease caused by cytomegalovirus. We reviewed the records of 44 patients treated with ganciclovir for culture-confirmed cytomegalovirus retinal (31 patients) or
The outcome of relapsed/refractory HIV-associated lymphoma remains poor, even in the era of combined antiretroviral therapy. However, recent reports showed the efficacy of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). We conducted a single-arm, multicenter phase II study in patients with
OBJECTIVE
To identify the magnitude of ocular complications in HIV infection in Chiang Mai, and determine the signs or symptoms that indicate the risk factors for developing ocular complications in HIV-positive patients
METHODS
A prospective study was carried out in newly diagnosed HIV-positive
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical features, therapeutic approaches, outcomes and alterations of peripheral lymphocytes subsets in cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in patients with AIDS.
METHODS
Ninety-six cases of AIDS were treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and 23 of them had CMV
We report a 53-year-old woman with probable Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome. Her parents were a consanguineous marriage. At two years of age, she developed night blindness. During her childhood she had severe diarrhea that disappeared in adulthood. At 26 years of age, she was diagnosed as having retinitis
The case of a 17 year old patient with severe course of toxocariasis is reported. Over a period of 6 months the patient developed signs of serious systemic condition with fever, respiratory infections, diarrhea, urticaria, weight loss, and muscular atrophies. The most remarkable organ derangements
A case of potassium iodate toxicity in a 22-year-old man was reported. After taking a solution of highly concentrated potassium iodate, the patient developed nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and blurred vision. The visual acuity was hand motion in both eyes. The funduscopic examination showed retinal
Abetalipoproteinemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by steatorrhea, poor weight gain, acanthocytosis and retinitis pigmentosa. Here we peresent a six-month-old patient with abetaliporoteinemia. He had a history of chronic diarrhea from the first month of life. He was cachectic
A study on AIDS subjects carried out at the Calmette Hospital in Phnom-Penh between the 1st January 97 and the 30th December 98. The objective of this study was to describe the most frequent clinical manifestations as well as the opportunistic infections according to the 1993 CDC classification
