Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcomes in dual nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) pretreated children after genotyping (GT). METHODS: We assessed CD4 and viral load (VL) in children three years after baseline GT at the time of dual NRTI failure. Baseline high grade resistance (HR) was defined as >or=4 nucleoside analogue mutations (NAMs)+/-Q151M or 69 insertion complex, and low grade resistance (LR) was...
