In vitro antiviral susceptibilities of isolates from cytomegalovirus retinitis patients receiving first- or second-line cidofovir therapy: relationship to clinical outcome.

Abstract excerpt

Blood culture isolates from patients receiving first- (peripheral retinitis) or second-line (relapsing retinitis) therapy with intravenous cidofovir were obtained from three clinical trials for in vitro antiviral susceptibility analyses. Isolates from 6 patients obtained after 14.3 weeks (mean) of first-line cidofovir therapy showed complete susceptibility to cidofovir, ganciclovir, and foscarnet. Isolates from...
