Abstract

Two AIDS patients, clinically suspected to have cytomegalovirus (CMV) pancreatitis are described. The first patient was successfully treated with ganciclovir 10 mg/kg/day. This patient refused ganciclovir maintenance treatment and developed 3 other episodes of pancreatitis which responded each time to ganciclovir. The second patient was successfully treated with foscarnet 200 mg/kg/day followed by maintenance foscarnet treatment 100 mg/kg/day. No pancreatitis relapse was observed.
