Bilateral Hip Fractures in a HIV patient with Anti-Retroviral Therapy- Induced Fanconi Syndrome
Journal Title: Chettinad Health City Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Here I report about a 49 years old HIV positive male patient who developed Anti-Retro viral Therapy-induced Fanconi Syndrome and consequently had bilateral pathologic neck of Femur fractures. I suggest that the retro viral infection together with the long-term usage of anti-retroviral drugs may have contributed to the patient's pathologic fractures by aggravating bone demineralisation. This case highlights the importance of monitoring not only for renal impairment but also for bone disease in patients receiving Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART).
