Response from Dr. Feinberg
 I'm not sure that I can. Being on a HAART regimen that she responds to is the most important thing. There is some evidence that the drug cidofovir which is used for CMV retinitis may be helpful, although a recent non-randomized study did not show striking benefit. I wish I could tell you something more cheerful. |
