- W2124641346 abstract "Among 347 AIDS patients seen at St Mary's Hospital, London between 1983 and 1989, cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease was observed in 75 (22%). Of these, 58 (77 %) had CMV retinitis, 26 (35 %) CMV colitis, and 12 (16 %) had CMV infection diagnosed at other sites. Relapse occurred in 71 %. A favourable response to the use of ganciclovir as induction therapy for CMV retinitis was observed in 92 %. Relapse of CMV retinitis occurred in 54 % at a median time of 97 days. Neutropenia was the most frequent and serious side-effect of ganciclovir, 76 % patients having neutrophil counts < 1·0 × 109/l and 48 % < 0·5 × 109/l at some stage of therapy. Thrombocytopenia was also common, and platelet counts of < 50 × 109/l occurred in 43 % patients on ganciclovir. The concurrent use of zidovudine made the development of severe neutropenia and thrombocytopenia more likely. Median survival following the diagnosis of CMV disease increased from 5–8 months between 1984 and 1987, to over 12 months in 1988. Patients with CMV colitis had a worse prognosis than patients with CMV retinitis, with median survival of 4·5 and 7 months respectively. In conclusion, CMV is an important opportunist infection in AIDS and both the disease and its treatment cause considerable morbidity. Hence, it is important to develop more effective and less toxic forms of therapy for CMV infection." @default.
