SUMMARY

Background:

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is the most common ocular infection in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Ganciclovir is used to contrai the spread of CMV.

Purpose:

To investigate the incidence of use of induction and reinduction therapy of ganciclovir in treatment of CMV retinitis in a reference center for ocular complications of AIDS.

Methods:

We evaluated retrospectively 1,100 HIV-infected patients, 407 (37%) with ocular manifestations. From the total, 246 (22.4%) patients presented CMV retinitis.

Results:

Ninety nine (40.2%) patients required an induction therapy of 10 mg/kg/day of ganciclovir for 21 days and the others 147 (59.8%) were using a maintenance therapy of 5 mg/kg/day. Thirty (1 2.2%) patients required a reinduction therapy.

Conclusions:

The relapsed ratio of our patients was significantly lower when compared with literature ⁶^,¹². We atribule this ratio to the toxicity, spending time, and, the very inconvenient therapy.
