Adherence and drug resistance: predictions for therapy outcome
22 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
We combine standard pharmacokinetics with an established model of viral replication to predict the outcome of therapy as a function of adherence to the drug regimen. We consider two types of treatment failure: failure to eliminate the wild-type virus, and the emergence of drug-resistant virus. Specifically, we determine the conditions under which resistance dominates as a result of imperfect adherence. We derive...
