Equivalence of Boosted Atazanavir Based Regimens and Currently Effective HAART Regimens with Other PI's/NNRTI's in HIV + Children and Adolescents with Elevated Lipid Levels
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
A frequent side-effect of antiretroviral therapy is elevation of plasma lipids and cholesterol. Atazanavir has been shown in adults to have a smaller elevation in plasma lipids in relation to other protease inhibitors. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of Atazanavir in pediatric patients switching to Atazanavir from other HAART regimens and to compare the lipid levels after the switch.
