Rapid, Near Point-of-Care Assay for HLA-B*57:01 Genotype Associated with Severe Hypersensitivity Reaction to Abacavir

<h4>Objective</h4> The nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor abacavir is commonly used to treat young children with HIV infection. Abacavir can trigger a severe hypersensitivity reaction in people who are homozygous or heterozygous for HLA-B*57:01 .
