Background: The emergence of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) antiviral resistance plays a significant role in disease progression in immunocompromised patients who have received antiviral therapy.Objectives: To determine the pattern of antiviral-resistant CMV strains in a highly immunocompromised child.Study design: Retrospective specimens of blood and urine were analysed using PCR-sequencing to identify antiviral-resistant CMV strains containing UL97 or UL54 mutations.Results: CMV strains resistant to antiviral agents contributed to disease in a bone marrow transplant recipient with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) treated with ganciclovir (GCV) and foscarnet (FOS). Retrospective analyses detected GCV-resistant CMV (L595S) in a specimen taken after disease progression. This GCV-resistant CMV strain persisted for I year, after which time it was no longer detected even though the patient continued to receive GCV. A FOS-resistant strain (T700A) then emerged even though no FOS had been administered in the preceding year.Conclusion: The detection of antiviral-resistant CMV did not follow the patterns found in other patients tested for antiviral resistance, including emergence of a FOS-resistant strain in the absence of antiviral-selective pressure. These findings indicate the patient's underlying immunosuppressive condition should be considered for diagnosis and management of resistant CMV. Crown Copyright (c) 2007 Published by Elsevier B.V.
