Need links to Valcyte research for infections.

Can someone point me to some studies or info from Montoya, Lerner or anyone else who is successfully using Valcyte to treat infections?

I saw and ID doc just want to show him what is going on outside what he learned. Yes I know it won't matter but I'd like to show him I'm not talking out of my butt. Lol.

Thanks
