The Devel9opment of Cytomegalovirus Encephalitis in AIDS Patients Receiving Ganciclovir
Am J Med 96:415-419, Berman,S.M.&Kim,R.C., 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
These results suggest that while ganciclovir therapy may clinically stabilize CMV retinitis in patients with AIDS,it does not appear to prevent the development of,or be effective in the treatment of,CMV encephalitis.Thus,clinicians should consider the diagnosis of CMV encephalitis in patients receiving ganciclovir who develop mental status changes and,if possible,alter therapy accordingly.
