Reverse transcriptase and protease inhibitor resistant mutations in art treatment naïve and treated hiv-1 infected children in India A Short Review
Journal Title: Walawalkar International Medical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction of first line and second line antiretroviral therapy has dramatically improved the quality of life and survival of the HIV-1 infected individuals. Extension of this therapy in children has similar effect. However the emergence of drug selected resistance has hampered the response to the therapy. A database of prevalence of drug resistance mutations in the Indian children both ART naïve and treated will help in deciding the appropriate regimen for the individual patient as well as formulating the policies regarding the composition of drugs included in the fixed dose combinations and its periodic review by analysis of the information that is made available from time to time. This will enable us to utilize our limited resources in most prudent way.
