Abstract excerpt
To examine the involvement of ganciclovir-resistant strains in the development of central nervous system (CNS) disease caused by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), 14 AIDS patients with CNS disease caused by HCMV were studied for the presence of HCMV strains with UL97 gene mutations associated with ganciclovir resistance by using amplification and direct sequencing of HCMV DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The CSF of...
