AIDS Res Group & AIDS Clin Trials Group, NEJM 326:213-220, 2642., , 1992
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
There was no difference between the two treatment groups in the rate of progression of retinitis(relative risk,0.95;P=0.751).These results suggest that for patients with AIDS and cytomegalovirus retinitis,treatment with foscarnet offers a survival advantage over treatment with ganciclovir, although the patients may not tolerate foscarnet as well as ganciclovir.
