OBJECTIVE
Intravenous cidofovir is used to treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, and has been reported to cause anterior uveitis. Relations were sought between this complication and patient characteristics that might help predict its occurrence.
METHODS
17 patients with AIDS and CMV retinitis who
BACKGROUND
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is a common infection and a major cause of visual loss in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate intravenous cidofovir as a treatment for CMV retinitis.
METHODS
Two-stage, multicenter, phase II/III, randomized,
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to describe the incidence and risk factors for the development of anterior uveitis in patients receiving intravenous cidofovir for the treatment of longstanding cytomegalovirus retinitis.
METHODS
The study design was a retrospective cohort.
METHODS
Eighteen patients (30
OBJECTIVE
To compare the regimen of the ganciclovir implant plus oral ganciclovir to one of intravenous cidofovir for the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis.
METHODS
Sixty-one patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and cytomegalovirus retinitis were randomized either to the regimen of
To assess the effect of intravenous cidofovir on delaying progression of previously treated, relapsing cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, we conducted a randomized, controlled comparison of two maintenance dose levels of cidofovir. One hundred and fifty patients with AIDS and CMV retinitis that had
Ten patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome with newly diagnosed cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis were treated with an induction regimen of intravenous foscarnet, 60 mg/kg of body weight, administered as a 2-h infusion and repeated every 8 h for 14 days. At the end of induction, 9 of 10
OBJECTIVE
To determine some of the factors influencing the time to progression of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis among HIV-infected patients being treated with foscarnet.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of two open-label Phase I/II studies in multiple university hospitals. Patients were studied in
We have evaluated the effects of induction therapy with foscarnet 100 mg/kg b.i.d. via i.v. infusion in 60 AIDS patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis and compared the findings with those in 37 such patients receiving a foscarnet induction regimen of 60 mg/kg t.i.d. via i.v. infusion.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the pharmacokinetics of foscarnet administered as an infusion twice daily (BID) or thrice daily (TID), and to compare the effects on the electrolyte balance, cardiac and renal functions over a 3-week induction treatment of Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate foscarnet sodium in treating cytomegalovirus retinitis in patients with AIDS.
METHODS
Twenty-four previously untreated persons with AIDS and cytomegalovirus retinitis who were at low risk for loss of their visual acuity.
METHODS
PATIENTS were randomly assigned to receive either
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is the most common cause of blindness in AIDS. Twenty patients were treated with a 21-day course of foscarnet therapy by continuous infusion. Response to therapy was good in eight (47%) of 17 evaluable patients; partial arrest of progression was observed in eight
The primary dose-limiting adverse effects associated with foscarnet treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis in patients with AIDS are renal impairment and ionized hypocalcemia. Dose-limiting renal impairment, consisting of significant alterations in serum creatinine levels or creatinine clearance or
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of neurotoxicity related to antiviral drugs, discuss the involvement of concomitant medications, and document the pharmacokinetics of ganciclovir (administered as valganciclovir) in a child with impaired renal function.
METHODS
A 13-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic
BACKGROUND
Cidofovir (CDV) is a nucleotide analogue with proven in vitro effects against cytomegalovirus (CMV) and adenovirus and has been successfully used in the treatment of CMV retinitis in AIDS patients.
METHODS
We performed a prospective study to evaluate the efficacy of CDV in 17 patients
The use of the nonparametric expectation maximization (NPEM2) program to estimate pharmacokinetic parameters of ganciclovir in a group of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was evaluated. A 10-point data set per patient obtained over 8 hours was
