“…This mutation conferred resistance to FOS and borderline resistance to GCV, and the patient was treated successfully with artesunate. A patient was also reported who received prolonged FOS as salvage therapy for human immunodeficiency virus and developed FOS resistance . In both of these cases, the development of FOS resistance occurred after prolonged therapy, in stark contrast to only 28 days of therapy in our patient.…”

“…Indeed, prolonged antiviral exposure, coupled with ongoing viral replication because of host immune suppression and/or inadequate antiviral dosing, are the primary risk factors for the development of resistance . In 27 kidney transplant recipients, the mean duration of GCV therapy before detection of resistance was 108 days (range 41–205 days) .…”

“…While we were not able to assess the impact of PFA–ZDV–DTG regimen on cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection resistance to foscarnet, it should be kept in mind that CMV resistance may occur in patient receiving foscarnet‐based salvage therapy [Boutolleau et al, ].…”

“…At the time of the diagnosis of HCMV retinitis, the patient had a high viral load, which may have contributed to the observed negative response to treatment. On the other hand, other factors, including profound immunosuppression, previous exposure to antiviral drugs, and persistently low levels of HCMV DNA, are also thought to be responsible for the failure to treat HCMV ( 6 ). Of note, at the beginning of GCV treatment, the CD4 + cell count was 8 CD4 + cells/mm 3 .…”

“…Despite the fact that nowadays treatment of HCMV infection is usually successful, it continues to represent a significant proportion of cases with end-organ disease in patients with AIDS ( 5 ). HCMV infection treatment failure could involve risk factors such as profound immunosuppression, previous exposure to anti-HCMV drugs, or persistent low-level HCMV replication ( 6 ). Nevertheless, retinitis relapse in patients with AIDS is mostly a result of the development of HCMV GCV resistance caused by prolonged treatment periods ( 2 ) and low adherence to ART.…”
