Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is a common opportunistic infection in patients with AIDS. With long-term therapy for CMV retinitis, resistant CMV may develop. In a prospective study of 122 patients with CMV retinitis, 2.4 and 0.8% of patients had foscarnet-resistant blood culture isolates (50% inhibitory concentration [IC50], &gt;400 microM) and urine culture isolates, respectively, at diagnosis of CMV retinitis prior to treatment, whereas 4.1 and 6.6% had cidofovir-resistant (IC50, &gt;2 microM) blood and urine culture isolates, respectively. Patients were treated according to best medical judgement. Of 44 foscarnet-treated patients, 26% had a resistant blood or urine culture isolate by 6 months of treatment and 37% had a resistant isolate by 9 months; of 13 cidofovir-treated patients, 29% had a resistant blood or urine culture isolate by 3 months of therapy. The probabilities of developing foscarnet resistance while on foscarnet and developing cidofovir resistance while on cidofovir were not significantly different from that for developing ganciclovir resistance while on ganciclovir (odds ratios, 1.87 [P = 0.19] and 2.28 [P = 0.15], respectively).
