Cytomegalovirus encephalitis/retinitis in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient treated successfully with combination of cidofovir and foscarnet
Pediatric Transplantation, 11/04/09
Hubacek P et al. – The authors report an 18–yr–old female patient with repeated CMV reactivations after HSCT treated by several pre–emptive courses of virostatic therapy. Seven months after HSCT, she developed CMV encephalitis/retinitis. Initial therapy with GCV and hyperimmune globulin failed, and later on GCV–resistant strain was detected. Continual increase of CMV DNA in peripheral blood led us to combined therapy with CDV and FCV, which was successful and free of severe renal toxicity.
