Combined intravenous ganciclovir and foscarnet for children with recurrent cytomegalovirus retinitis.
Ophthalmology. 1995; (12): 1865-70
Children with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis may not complain of symptoms despite the presence of advanced sight-threatening disease. Although little data exist regarding CMV retinitis in this population, the treatment of this disease may be difficult because of frequent, extensive recurrences after reduction of drug dose from induction to maintenance levels. The authors reported the results of the use of combined ganciclovir and foscarnet for treatment of recurrent CMV retinitis in three children with AIDS.
