OBJECTIVES: To assess the incidence and risk factors for hepatotoxicity associated with nevirapine. DESIGN: A prospective cohort study in a teaching and referral hospital involving all consecutive patients who were prescribed a nevirapine-containing antiretroviral regimen between September 1997 and May 2000. METHOD: Cutaneous and hepatic adverse reactions and clinical hepatitis were assessed. Blood analysis including plasma HIV-1 RNA CD4 cell counts, liver chemistry tests, and serology for hepatitis B and C viruses. Hepatotoxicity was defined as an increase of at least threefold in serum alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase levels compared with baseline values. RESULTS: Of a total of 610 patients, 82 (13.4%) were antiretroviral naive when commencing nevirapine, and 46.2 and 8.9% were coinfected with hepatitis C and B viruses, respectively. Median duration of exposure to nevirapine was 8.7 months (interquartile range 3.4--14.3). Hepatotoxicity developed in 76 (12.5%), an incidence of 13.1/100 person-years. Kaplan--Meier estimated incidence of hepatotoxicity at 3, 6 and 12 months was 3.7, 9.7 and 20.1%, respectively. In seven (1.1%) patients, hepatotoxicity was associated with clinical hepatitis, which was reversible upon discontinuation of therapy. Multivariate analysis identified the duration of prior exposure to antiretroviral drugs, hepatitis C virus, and higher baseline levels of alanine aminotransferase as independent risk factors for hepatotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS: Hepatotoxicity but not clinical hepatitis was common in HIV-1-infected patients receiving nevirapine-containing regimens and the incidence steadily increased over time. Prolonged exposure to any antiretroviral therapy, coinfection with hepatitis C virus and abnormal baseline levels of alanine aminotransferase identified patients at a higher risk. 相似文献

Background
We evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of etravirine in paediatric patients vertically infected with HIV‐1.Methods
A multicentre retrospective study of 23 multidrug‐resistant paediatric patients (five children and 18 adolescents) enrolled in the study from 1 September 2007 to 28 February 2010 was carried out. We performed a longitudinal analysis of immunological, virological and clinical data.Results
The median age of the patients was 14.2 years [interquartile range (IQR) 12.5–15.8 years]. At baseline, the median HIV‐1 RNA was 29 000 (4.5 log10) HIV‐1 RNA copies/mL (range 4300‐83 000 copies/mL), the median CD4 T‐cell count was 445 cells/μL (range 221–655 cells/μL) and the median CD4 percentage was 19.6% (IQR 13.0‐31.0). Remarkably, 16 of 23 patients (70%) harboured one or more etravirine‐associated resistance mutations. The backbone regimen included at least two fully active drugs in 91% of patients. After etravirine‐based therapy, 20 patients (87%) achieved HIV‐1 RNA<400 copies/mL and 18 of 23 (78%) achieved HIV‐1 RNA<50 copies/mL: three (13%) within the first month, seven (30%) within the first 4 months, and six (26%) between the 5th and 8th months. CD4 T‐cell recovery was observed in 19 patients (83%). The median follow‐up time was 48.4 weeks (IQR 35.7–63.4 weeks); four patients (17%) were exposed to etravirine for >120 weeks. Three mild/short‐term and two moderate skin rashes were observed in the adolescents. Laboratory abnormalities included hypercholesterolaemia (11 of 23 patients), hypertriglyceridaemia (eight of 23 patients), and reduced high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (10 of 23 patients). Adherence was complete in seven patients (30%). No patients showed complete resistance to etravirine after follow‐up. However, three of 21 patients (14%) who initially showed intermediate resistance interrupted etravirine treatment because of virological failure.Conclusions
We observed a sustained antiviral response and improved immunological parameters in multidrug‐resistant paediatric patients, most of whom had received etravirine as part of salvage regimens with at least two fully active drugs. 相似文献3.

Non‐transfusion‐dependent thalassaemia (NTDT) refers to all thalassaemia disease phenotypes that do not require regular blood transfusions for survival. Thalassaemia disorders were traditionally concentrated along the tropical belt stretching from sub‐Saharan Africa through the Mediterranean region and the Middle East to South and South‐East Asia, but global migration has led to increased incidence in North America and Northern Europe. Transfusionists may be familiar with β‐thalassaemia major because of the lifelong transfusions needed by these patients. Although patients with NTDT do not require regular transfusions for survival, they may require transfusions in some instances such as pregnancy, infection or growth failure. The complications associated with NTDT can be severe if not properly managed, and many are directly related to chronic anaemia. Awareness of NTDT is important, and this review will outline the factors that should be taken into consideration when deciding whether to initiate and properly plan for transfusion therapy in these patients in terms of transfusion interval and duration of treatment. 相似文献

Objectives
To investigate, using a longitudinal design, whether biomarkers of cardiovascular risk change after a switch to an abacavir (ABC)‐containing regimen in HIV‐1‐infected individuals already receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (ART).Methods
Thirty‐five HIV‐1‐infected individuals who switched ART to an ABC‐containing regimen were identified. Twenty‐two HIV‐1‐infected individuals who switched ART from and to a non‐ABC‐containing regimen served as controls. Plasma concentrations of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM‐1), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM‐1), matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and high sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP) were measured in blood samples before the switch in ART, and 3 months and 12 months afterwards. Log10‐transformed data were compared with paired t‐tests.Results
Median MMP9 increased from 45.5 to 64.4 μg/mL after 3 months of ABC exposure (P=0.011) and remained increased after 12 months (64.2 μg/mL; P=0.013). MPO increased from median 8.8 to 10.4 μg/mL (P=0.036) after 3 months of ABC exposure but was not increased after 12 months of exposure (9.1 μg/mL). hs‐CRP increased from 3.3 to 4.2 μg/mL after 3 months (P=0.031) but was not increased after 12 months of exposure (2.8 μg/mL). Neither sVCAM‐1 nor sICAM‐1 changed after the initiation of ABC. No changes were observed in the control group.Conclusions
MMP9, MPO and hs‐CRP all increased after a switch in ART to an ABC‐containing regimen. This indicates increased cardiovascular risk in viral load‐suppressed HIV‐1‐infected individuals switching to ABC and proposes a proinflammatory potential as the underlying pathogenetic mechanism. 相似文献7.

Impact of immune interventions on proviral HIV-1 DNA decay in patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Objective To measure the evolution of proviral HIV-1 DNA levels in patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) compared to those treated with HAART plus interleukin-2 (IL-2) and hydroxyurea.
Design Prospective randomised trial.
Methods Twenty-two HIV-1 infected patients were randomly assigned to a five-drug antiretroviral regimen for 72 weeks, with or without IL-2, followed by a three-drug regimen up to week 120 with additional hydroxyurea in patients having received IL-2. HIV-1 DNA levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were measured regularly using the Amplicor Monitor kit from Roche Diagnostics (Meylan, France). Potentially infectious HIV-1 was cultured in enhanced conditions from circulating CD4 T cells at week 120.
Results During the study period of 120 weeks, HIV-1 DNA levels in PBMC decreased by −1.1 log in patients treated with HAART only compared with −1.8 log in patients with additional IL-2 and hydroxyurea. A two-phase decay rate was observed, with an inflexion point at 12 weeks. The second decay was slow, with mean half-lives of 130.1 ± 21.3 weeks and 95.1 ± 26.3 weeks for patients on HAART and those receiving additional IL-2 and hydroxyurea, respectively. At week 120, one out of 11 patients with HAART alone compared to six out of 11 in the group with IL-2 and hydroxyurea had undetectable proviral DNA levels and three of them had unsuccessful recovery of replication-competent HIV-1 from blood CD4 T cells.
Conclusion Therapeutic strategies combining HAART and immune interventions have higher potency to decrease the number of infected cells than HAART alone. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The world-wide AIDS epidemic is reflected in Western Europe in an increasing number of HIV-infected persons who originate from Africa. We describe the characteristics and response to antiretroviral therapy (ART) of HIV-infected patients born in Africa and living in France. METHODS: Analysis of data from the (Anti PROtéase COhorte APROCO) cohort study of HIV-infected patients initiating ART was carried out. Included in the study were 90 patients born in sub-Saharan Africa, 53 in North Africa and 771 in metropolitan France. RESULTS: At baseline, there was a higher proportion of women and of the heterosexual transmission route of infection among patients born in sub-Saharan Africa, a higher proportion of injecting drug users among patients born in North Africa and a higher frequency of unemployment and of unstable housing conditions among patients born in both sub-Saharan and North Africa as compared with patients born in France. The median CD4 cell count was lower in patients born in both sub-Saharan and North Africa (sub-Saharan Africa: 197 cells/microL; North Africa: 222 cells/microL) than in patients born in France (307 cells/microL). Median HIV-1 viral loads were similar. After a median follow-up time of 36 months (2506 patient-years), the Kaplan-Meier estimations of probability of survival without new AIDS-defining events were not different. After 36 months of ART, in multivariate analysis, median CD4 cell count, CD4/CD8 ratio and viral load were not statistically different according to birthplace, but the median CD4 percentage was lower in patients born in both sub-Saharan and North Africa. The adherence profiles were similar. CONCLUSIONS: Although clinical response and adherence to ART did not appear to differ in patients according to their birthplace, the reasons for the more advanced HIV infection observed at ART initiation among patients born in Africa should be further investigated. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the prognostic significance of persistent low-level viraemia (PLV, defined as persistent plasma viral loads of 51-1000 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL for at least 3 months) in patients who had achieved viral suppression on antiretroviral therapy (ART). METHODS: A retrospective cohort of HIV-infected patients who received ART, were followed-up for > or =12 months, made regular visits to the clinic during which blood tests were performed for an ultrasensitive HIV RNA assay every 3 months, and achieved viral loads <50 copies/mL were evaluated. Virological failure was defined as two consecutive viral load measurements >1000 copies/mL. RESULTS: Of 362 patients, 78 (27.5%) experienced PLV. The demographics of patients with and without PLV were similar. PLV occurred at a mean (+/-standard deviation) of 22.6+/-16.9 months after ART initiation and lasted for 6.4+/-3.4 months. During a median follow-up of 29.5 months, patients with PLV had a higher rate of virological failure (39.7% vs 9.2%; P < 0.001). The median time to failure was 68.4 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 37.0-99.7] for patients with PLV and >72 months for patients without PLV (log rank test, P < 0.001). By Cox regression, patients with PLV had a greater risk of virological failure [hazard ratio (HR) 3.8; 95% CI 2.2-6.4; P < 0.001]. Among patients with PLV, a PLV of >400 copies/mL (HR 3.3; 95% CI 1.5-7.1; P = 0.003) and a history of ART (HR 2.4; 95% CI 1.0-5.7; P = 0.042) predicted virological failure. CONCLUSIONS: PLV is associated with virological failure. Patients with a PLV >400 copies/mL and a history of ART experience are more likely to experience virological failure. Patients with PLV should be considered for treatment optimization and interventional studies. 相似文献

Different experimental approaches have shown that, despite plasma viral loads under the threshold of detection, HIV-1 frequently continues to replicate in patients receiving potent antiretroviral therapy. However, whether this low-grade viral replication is sufficient for the generation of new major quasispecies has not been studied. Thus, in order to evaluate the extent of variation in the major proviral HIV-1 population, we monitored proviral DNA sequences in such patients over a time period of up to 30 months.
Methods DNA was extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and the V3 region was amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and directly sequenced. Additionally, both HIV-1 RNA and DNA levels and CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts were monitored.
Results Analysing the V3 gene sequences of 17 patients, we observed a sequence evolution in nine patients. Interestingly, the majority of these changes (77%) occurred in the first interval following the initiation of therapy and despite signs of ongoing replication the proviral DNA levels continued to decrease in all patients.
Conclusions Our data suggest that, although available data report that HIV-1 continues to replicate in patients with undetectable viraemia, the extent of viral replication in many of these patients is not sufficient to result in changes in the major viral population. 相似文献

HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy have increased risk of metabolic syndrome, including dyslipidemia. In this study, we determined whether individual nutritional counseling reduced dyslipidemia, particularly low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, among HIV-infected patients with dyslipidemia not currently taking lipid-lowering medication. We conducted a randomized 24-week trial among HIV-infected patients with dyslipidemia who were on antiretroviral therapy and were eligible to initiate therapeutic lifestyle changes according to the Thai National Cholesterol Education Program. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group that received individual counseling with a nutritionist for seven sessions (baseline, weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, and 24) and a control group that received standard verbal diet information at baseline and nutritional counseling only at week 24. A 24-h recall technique was used to assess dietary intake for both groups at baseline and week 24. Lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglyceride) was measured at baseline and after 12 and 24 weeks of therapy. An intention-to-treat and linear mixed model were used. Seventy-two patients were randomly assigned, and 62 (86%) participants completed their lipid profile test. After 12 weeks of follow-up, there were significant reductions in the intervention group for total cholesterol (?14.4?±?4.6?mg/dL, P?=?.002), LDL cholesterol (?13.7?±?4.1?mg/dL, P?=?.001), and triglyceride (?30.4?±?13.8?mg/dL, P?=?.03). A significant reduction in LDL cholesterol was also observed in the control group (?7.7?±?3.8?mg/dL, P?=?.04), but there were no significant differences in change of mean lipid levels between the groups at 12 weeks of follow-up. After 24 weeks, participants assigned to the intervention group demonstrated significantly greater decreases in serum total cholesterol (?19.0?±?4.6?vs. 0.2?±?4.3?mg/dL, P?=?.003) and LDL cholesterol (?21.5?±?4.1?vs. ?6.8?±?3.8?mg/dL, P?=?.009). There were no significant changes in HDL cholesterol or triglyceride levels in either group. 相似文献

The co-existence of thalassaemia major and chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a very rare event. We report a 32-year-old man with thalassaemia major whose progressively increasing leukocytosis and thrombocytosis led to the diagnosis of CML confirmed by the characteristic t(9;22)(q34;q11) chromosomal translocation and the bcr-abl (b3a2) DNA fusion. The patient was treated with hydroxyurea and anagrelide. This combination resulted in the satisfactory control of both the white blood cell and platelet counts, which has continued over the past 14 months with no major side-effects, albeit with no molecular response. The administration of hydroxyurea was also associated with a significant HbF increase. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Immunological and virological consequences of low-level viremia in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) remain to be determined. METHODS: For 24 months, 101 HAART-treated, HIV-1-infected patients with HIV RNA levels =200 copies/mL were followed prospectively: HIV RNA level and CD4 and CD8 cell counts were investigated every 3 months, and proviral DNA and T cell subsets were investigated every 6 months. RESULTS: During follow-up, 33 patients had HIV RNA levels =20 copies/mL at all visits (uVL patients), whereas 68 patients had HIV RNA levels >20 copies/mL at >/=1 visit (dVL patients) (median increase, 81 copies/mL [interquartile range, 37-480 copies/mL]). dVL patients had higher concentrations of CD8 cells, activated and memory T cells, and proviral DNA, compared with uVL patients (P<.05). A higher HIV RNA level was independently associated with reduced CD4 gain (P<.001). A higher HIV RNA level also was associated with increases in activated CD8(+)CD38(+) and CD8(+)HLA-DR(+) cells (P<.05), and a higher level of activated CD8(+)CD38(+) cells was independently associated with reduced CD4 gain (P<.05). A higher proviral DNA level was associated with increases in CD4(+)CD45RA(-)CD28(-) effector cells and reductions in naive CD4(+)CD45RA(+)CD62L(+) and CD8(+)CD45RA(+)CD62L(+) cells (P<.05). Higher levels of activated CD4(+)HLA-DR(+) and early differentiated CD4(+)CD45RA(-)CD28(+) cells predicted increased risk of subsequent detectable viremia in patients with undetectable HIV RNA (P<.05). CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that low-level viremia and proviral DNA are intimately associated with the immunological and virological equilibrium in patients receiving HAART. 相似文献

We conducted a pilot study to assess the effect of atorvastatin on HIV replication. Patients with stable HAART-controlled infection interrupted therapy and were randomly assigned to a control group or to start atorvastatin 40 or 80 mg/day. Statin groups showed lower serum cholesterol but similar viral loads and CD4 T-cell counts to the control group at weeks 4 and 12. Paradoxically, baseline serum cholesterol, but not atorvastatin, influenced viral rebound at week 4. 相似文献

The viral kinetics of HERV-K in HIV-1-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is not unknown. HERV-K kinetic modeling may provide insight into factors altering the effectiveness of HAART in suppressing HIV-1 burden. We conducted a longitudinal study measuring the HERV-K RNA titers in four patients with successful HIV-1-suppressive HAART and in six patients undergoing HAART failure. HERV-K titers were usually undetectable in patients with successful HAART, and when detected, HERV-K titers remained below 5000 copies/ml. On the other hand, HERV-K RNA was consistently detected in patients who failed to respond to HAART before and after HIV-1 rebounds (p < 0.001). Elevated HERV-K RNA titers frequently preceded HIV-1 rebounds. These results suggest that HERV-K viral load may predict HIV-1 reactivation. HERV-K RNA testing might be clinically useful in predicting the onset of HIV-1 resistance due to suboptimal antiretroviral drug levels and/or poor adherence to treatment. 相似文献
