foscarnet has been researched along with Gastroenteritis in 3 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.
Gastroenteritis: INFLAMMATION of any segment of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT from ESOPHAGUS to RECTUM. Causes of gastroenteritis are many including genetic, infection, HYPERSENSITIVITY, drug effects, and CANCER.

| " The antiviral agents ganciclovir and foscarnet are effective against CMV retinitis and gastrointestinal diseases, although dose-limiting adverse effects and the need for long-term maintenance therapy may hinder their use in many patients." | 4.78 | Treatment and prophylaxis of cytomegalovirus disease. ( Jacobson, PA; Levinson, ML, 1992) |
| "How to treat cytomegalovirus infections in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus constitutes one of the best examples of the quandaries engendered by these advances, and the topic is reviewed in this first AIDS Commentary update." | 2.38 | Cytomegalovirus infection in patients with AIDS. ( Drew, WL, 1992) |
| " An important direction for future clinical research is the development of more effective and less toxic therapy, as well as orally bioavailable drugs for maintenance therapy." | 2.37 | Serious cytomegalovirus disease in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Clinical findings, diagnosis, and treatment. ( Jacobson, MA; Mills, J, 1988) |
