Objective: To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of nevirapine (NVP)-based regimens for HIV-infected Chinese patients in routine clinical practice.
Methods: From October 2002 to May 2004, 57 HIV-1-infected patients commenced highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), and were followed to December 2008. They originally received 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and nevirapine.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) therapy includes a backbone of nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Toxicities associated with NRTIs are not fully defined in children.
Methods: We studied 2233 children < or =13 years of age who were perinatally infected with HIV and were receiving > or =2 NRTIs, to determine the relative toxicities of the 5 most common NRTI pairs: zidovudine (ZDV)/lamivudine (3TC), ZDV/didanosine (ddI), stavudine (d4T)/3TC, d4T/ddI, and ddI/3TC.

One thousand and eighty-one evaluable HIV-infected patients were assessed for pancreatic abnormalities in a prospective case-control study including the whole follow-up period of each patient (minimum 12 months). The 435 patients (40.2%), who experienced at least one episode of confirmed pancreatic laboratory abnormality had a longer duration of seropositivity, exposure to protease inhibitors, a more frequent immunodeficiency, AIDS, chronic liver and/or biliary disease and hypertriglyceridaemia, while no relation was found with antiretroviral administration, and the duration of type of nucleoside analogues, when compared with the 646 controls.

Objective: To observe that antiretroviral efficacy, immune reconstitution of two-year HAART, and evaluate its side effect in Chinese HIV-1-infected patients.
Methods: Three drug regimen composed of didanosine (ddI), stavudine (d4T), and nevirapine (NVP) was used on 27 HIV-1 infected patients, Within 2 weeks before treatment, and 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after the beginning of treatment peripheral blood samples were collected to measure the HIV-RNA viral load (VL) by fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reactions (FQ-PCR), and the counts of CD3+CD4+ cells, CD3+CD8+ cells, CD4+CD45RA+CD62L+ cells, CD4+CD45RO+ cells, CD8+CD38+ cells, and CD8+CD38+/CD3+CD8+ percentage. The side effects, blood routine, main biochemical parameters, and other disadvantageous accidents were monitored during the 24-mouth treatment period.

The aim of this prospective study was to determine the adverse effects of antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1 infected children and factors associated with adverse effects. The study was performed in a pediatric and perinatal HIV clinic in a tertiary general hospital. Forty-three HIV positive children from the age group of 5 months to 14 years were started on antiretroviral therapy ART.
