foscarnet and Blood Diseases

foscarnet has been researched along with Blood Diseases in 2 studies

Foscarnet: An antiviral agent used in the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis. Foscarnet also shows activity against human herpesviruses and HIV.
phosphonoformic acid : Phosphoric acid in which one of the hydroxy groups is replaced by a carboxylic acid group. It is used as the trisodium salt as an antiviral agent in the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMV retinitis, an inflamation of the retina that can lead to blindness) and as an alternative to ganciclovir for AIDS patients who require concurrent antiretroviral therapy but are unable to tolerate ganciclovir due to haematological toxicity.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Foscarnet is an active agent against cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), as well as ganciclovir."1.36Use of foscarnet for cytomegalovirus infection after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a related donor. ( Asakura, M; Atsuta, Y; Etoh, T; Fukuda, T; Hatanaka, K; Ikegame, K; Kanamori, H; Mori, T; Ogawa, H; Sakamaki, H; Suzuki, R; Takami, A; Taniguchi, S; Yoshida, T; Yoshihara, S; Yujiri, T, 2010)
" Surprisingly, AZT significantly increased serum creatinine levels on Days 5 and 11 of treatment (up to 40% increase), whereas PFA was less toxic (only approximately 17% increase on Day 5 of treatment)."1.29In vivo toxicity of foscarnet and zidovudine given alone or in combination. ( Beauchamp, D; Bergeron, MG; Désormeaux, A; Gourde, P; Omar, RF; Tremblay, M, 1996)
