| | In a study designed to examine cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific immune responses in people stopping CMV retinitis maintenance therapy, it was found that 9/13 people developed vitritis (an inflammation in the eye) in the same eye as that of the retinitis. | | | This new formulation is so much better absorbed by the body that the sponsor hopes it may eventually eliminate the need for intravenous therapy altogether. | | | Project Inform's CMV [ HIV / AIDS Treatment Information ] |
