Foscarnet Therapy for Ganciclovir-Resistant Cytomegalovirus Retinitis in Patients with AIDSThe Journal of Infectious Diseases, 163
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common viral opportunistic infection in patients suffering with acquired immunodeficiency virus (AIDS). HCMV is a systemic infection that may infect several sites in the body, including the retina, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, liver, and central nervous system. Retinitis is the most frequent manifestation of HCMV infection, occurring in 15 - 40% of all patients. HCMV is progressive and destroys the retina, eventually leading to blindness. Although, there are several drugs available to treat this disease, they are often of limited efficacy and have significant side-effects. Antisense oligonucleotides represent a novel alternative to the currently available drugs. Due to their high affinity and specificity to target the HCMV RNAs, interest in antisense technology to treat HCMV infections has been intense during the past few years. Two antisense drugs are currently in clinical trials, ISIS 2922 (Formivirsen) and GEM®132.
