Low incidence of hepatotoxicity in a cohort of HIV patients treated with lopinavir/ritonavir
Abstract
We describe the hepatotoxicity encountered in a cohort of HIV-positive patients treated with lopinavir/ritonavir. We used the database from the SCOLTA project, an on-line pharmacovigilance programme involving 25 Italian infectious disease centres. A total of 755 patients were followed, over a mean observation period of 16 months. The incidence of severe events was low despite the high prevalence of patients co-infected with hepatitis virus at enrollment.
