  • Title: Treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis in a patient with AIDS with 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine.
    Author: Macdonald EA.
    Journal: Can J Ophthalmol; 1987 Feb; 22(1):48-52. PubMed ID: 3028588.
    Abstract:
    Asymptomatic retinal lesions were found on annual ophthalmic examination in a 38-year-old homosexual man with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The lesions were compatible with cytomegalovirus retinitis and progressed. Treatment with 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine (DHPG) resulted in regression of the lesions and improvement in his overall clinical condition. The retinal lesions in AIDS are reviewed.
