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.status: publishe
