Effectiveness of dual and triple antiretroviral therapy in the treatment of HIV-infected children

Abstract: Objective: The use of antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected children has been a widely discussed issue. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of dual nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) regimens and three-drug regimens [2NRTI+ nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or protease inhibitor (PI)] in a cohort of HIV-infected children. Methods:The study was carried out in a referral center for the management of infected children, which is affiliated with the Sc… Show more

“…A low CD4 cell count at the initiation of ART has been associated with a relatively poor probability of a good virologic response, 27 highlighting the need to start ART before children are severely immune suppressed. Our study was not randomized, and these results should be interpreted with caution.…”

No entanto, tais drogas estão associadas ao desenvolvimento de anormalidades metabólicas intituladas em conjunto de síndrome lipodistrófica do HIV, caracterizada por aumento nos níveis plasmáticos de lipoproteínas aterogênicas, resistência insulínica, diabetes e redistribuição da gordura corporal, em adultos e crianças 2,3 .…”

“…anti-retroviral (ARV) implementada entre janeiro de 1998 e dezembro de 2001 na Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) e concluíram que a ARV tríplice foi mais eficaz do que a ARV dupla 1 . Essa conclusão reflete, em parte, as diretrizes para ARV em crianças infectadas pelo HIV nos Estados Unidos.…”
