Valgancyclovir as maintenance therapy for cytomegalovirus retinitis in a lung transplant patient--a case report.

Abstract:

UNLABELLED:The purpose of this article is to report the use of valgancyclovir as maintenance therapy for cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in a lung transplanted patient. RESULT:A 30-year-old woman with underlying pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis received a lung transplant 1 year ago. CMV retinitis developed 4 months later but subsided after intravenous ganciclovir treatment. Unfortunately, the CMV retinitis recurred three times in 1 year while on oral ganciclovir maintenance therapy. To treat the latest relapse, valgancyclovir 900 mg once daily was used as maintenance therapy after intravenous gancyclovir induction. With a 6-month follow-up, the fundoscopic examination revealed old atrophic scar and no active CMV retinits. The patient was able to maintain best-corrected visual acuity of 20/20 in both eyes. In conclusion, Valganciclovir may be used as maintenance therapy in CMV retinitis.

  • Visfatin, a new adipocytokine, is predominantly related to inflammation/endothelial damage in kidney allograft recipients.

    abstract::Visfatin, a ubiquitous adipokine, was first described in 2005. It was found to be selectively up-regulated in the adipose tissue and to have insulin-mimetic effects. It has been reported that visfatin is associated with endothelial damage in chronic kidney disease. We investigated plasma visfatin levels (using commerc...
