Abstract

The authors have shown that long-term treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis with 20-microgram intravitreal injections of cidofovir (HPMPC) is highly effective but may be associated with iritis and profound hypotony. They evaluated the efficacy and safety of 10-microgram intravitreal injections of cidofovir and made comparisons with their findings of 20-microgram injections. The current study was conducted as a nonrandomized consecutive case series at the AIDS Ocular Research Unit of the University of California at San Diego. Twenty-seven eyes of 18 patients were injected with 10 micrograms intravitreal cidofovir and had complete follow-up. These were compared with another consecutive series of 24 eyes of 17 patients injected with 20 micrograms of cidofovir. The main outcome in this study was the incidence of failure to respond to treatment with 10-microgram injections. The authors also compared the time to progression of CMV retinitis after the initial intravitreal injections of 10 micrograms and 20 micrograms of cidofovir. Secondary outcomes included incidence of iritis and changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) after cidofovir injections. The median time to retinitis progression was 45 days after a single intravitreal i...Continue Reading
