Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a major unrecognised cause of morbidity and mortality in infants living with HIV. Valganciclovir, an oral prodrug of ganciclovir, treats CMV in immunocompromised patients, but pharmacokinetic data in infants living with HIV are lacking. This study evaluated exploratory valganciclovir pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic outcomes in infants with severe HIV-associated pneumonia.
