Abstract

Objective: Active antiretroviral therapy refers to the use of a combina-tion of drugs for treating human immune deficiency virus infection with the aim of preventing long-term toxicity. Material and Methods: This study included 27 HIV-infected patients less than 18 years of age, between the years of 2001-2016. Primary out-comes were serious adverse events and virologic response to ART. Results: The mean age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 69.2 (1-204) months. Twenty-two patients had LPV/r-based regimen as first-line ART, initially. The mean follow-up period was 67.1 (6-192) months. First line therapy was changed in 6 patients. Resistance against antiret-roviral drugs was found in four patients. Conclusion: Despite small number of patients, a protease inhibitor-based regime seems to be a good option for children in immune recovery.

Özet

Giriş: Aktif antiretroviral tedavi insan immünyetmezlik virüsü (HIV) en-feksiyonunda uzun dönem toksisiteyi önlemek amacıyla ilaç kombinas-yonunun kullanımını ifade eder. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma 18 yaş altında olan ve 2001-2016 yılları arasında HIV ile enfekte olan 27 hastayı içermektedir. Birincil sonuçlar ciddi yan etkiler ve antiretroviral tedavi (ART)’ye virolojik yanıt idi. Bulgular: Tanı anında hastaların ortalama yaşı 69.2 (1-204) aydı. Yirmi iki hastada başlangıçta birinci basamak ART olarak LPV/r bazlı rejim kullanıl-dı. Ortalama takip süresi 67.1 (6-192) aydı. Altı hastada birinci basamak tedavi değiştirildi. Dört hastada antiretroviral ilaçlara karşı direnç saptandı. Sonuç: Hasta sayısının azlığına rağmen; proteaz inhibitörünün baz alın-dığı rejimin immün yanıtı olan çocuklar için iyi bir seçenek olduğu dü-şünüldü.
