Abstract

AIDS: NIAID's AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) has completed several studies and their findings are reported. Findings from two studies, ACTG 081, involving three therapies for pneumonia prevention, and ACTG 981, examining fluconazole for preventing fungal infections, are reported in The New England Journal of Medicine (March 16, 1995). Other studies reviewed include ACTG 152, using AZT alone and in combination in children, and ACTG 204, examining the effectiveness of valacyclovir and two different doses of acyclovir in preventing cytomegalovirus end stage-organ disease and survival extension.
