Evaluation of the genotypic pattern of HIV-1 resistance in AIDS patients failing antiretroviral therapy

Abstract: We analyzed the first 96 patients tested for HIV resistance to antiretroviral therapy in three Brazilian states. The HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) and protease (PR) were sequenced by using the ABI ViroSeq system. The drugs previously used for each patient were recorded and correlated with the mutations found in the samples. Viral load (VL) and CD4 count were also recorded. Only one patient had the wild type sequence. The most prevalent mutations were: 184V (59%), 41L (47.9%), 63P (53%), 215Y (50%), 36I (46%… Show more

“…The majority of patients with VF were in WHO stages II and III, but no statistically significant association between WHO stages and VF was found. These results are similar to results reported in Brazil [54] and in many parts of Africa [19,23,55].…”

“…Most of other Brazilian studies reported NNRTI prevalence of mutations of 30 to 55.4%. 21,23,25,26 In Santos, the overall NNRTI prevalence was not explicit, but K103N occurred in 52% of patients, whereas in these data from Paraná it was 43.4%. 27 At Brazilian Northeast region, the specifi c mutations were even higher, with 62% substitutions in codon 103, 38.7% in codon 190 and 181 in codon 29.2%.…”

“…23 In the other Brazilian studies, L90M was also the most frequent, present in 26 to 37% of the cases. 20,21,23,24,44 Compared with international data, these patients present lower prevalence of wild-type virus, probably because in other sites -where genotype was available earlier in the setting of virologic failure -more wild-type virus can be demonstrated. Other reason may be the lower exposure to less effective regimens, including less than two active agents.…”
