Abstract excerpt
This study evaluated the influence of zidovudine (ZDV) resistance mutations on the antiviral effect of the combination of stavudine (D4T) plus didanosine (ddI) in patients treated previously with ZDV plus zalcitabine (ddC). Twenty patients who had been treated with ZDV plus ddC for a median duration of 11 months (range, 7-42 months) were switched to D4T (40 mg twice a day [BID]) + ddI (200 mg BID) in an open...
