Sustained Increase of Serum Creatine Phosphokinase Levels and Progressive Muscle Abnormalities Associated with Raltegravir Use during a 32-week Follow-up in an HIV-1 Experienced Patient on Simplified HAART Regimen, Intolerant to Protease Inhibitors and Abacavir: A Case Report

چکیده
Sustained increase of serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) concentrations and muscle abnormalities have been reported in patients taking raltegravir (RAL). In this report, we describe a case of sustained and asymptomatic increase of serum CPK concentrations associated with raltegravir, zidovudine, and lamivudine in an HIV-1 experienced patient with intolerance to protease inhibitor, abacavir and pencillin during 32 weeks of continuous drug monitoring.

The purpose of this study was to compare treatment satisfaction with triple nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) regimens including abacavir (ABC) to HAART regimens that include protease inhibitors (PIs) and to estimate the relationship between patient satisfaction and adherence to HAART. Three open-label clinical trials comparing ABC-...
متن کاملCreatine phosphokinase values and myalgia during isotretinoin therapy
Background: Systemic isotretinoin is a very effective medication for the treatment of acne, but it has some side effects. One of its side effects is musculoskeletal problems such as increased levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), myalgia, and serious muscle damage such as rhabdomyolysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of myalgia and its relationship with the elevation of ...

On October 16, 2007, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved raltegravir for treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection in combination with other antiretroviral agents in treatment-experienced adult patients who have evidence of viral replication and HIV-1 strains resistant to multiple antiretroviral agents. Raltegravir is first in a novel class of antiretroviral dru...

HIV drug resistance still represents a crucial problem in antiretroviral therapy. We report a case of a naive patient, harboring a CRF11-cpx virus, which showed drug resistance mutations in the reverse transcriptase. A drug resistance genotyping test was performed for the pol (protease, reverse transcriptase, and integrase) and V3 regions. The initial clinical parameter results showed a 4 log l...
