    First and Second Line Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy Failure in HIV Infected Nigerian Children at University of Abuja Teaching Hospital Gwagwalada, Nigeria

    DOI Logo 10.17352/2455-3786.000014

    Published On: September 10, 2015 | Pages: 049 - 054

    Author(s): Adaora A Okechukwu* and Frank I Amajuoyi
    Background: In high-income countries, viral load is routinely used for monitoring HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy for early detection of drug failure. This is not the case in most resource limited settings like ours where only WHO immunological and clinical criteria are used for monitoring. This study is aimed at determining the rate/time of failure to 1st and ...

    Nutritional Supplementation in HIV-Infected Children: A Review

    DOI Logo 10.17352/2455-3786.000013

    Published On: August 14, 2015 | Pages: 045 - 048

    Author(s): Siyazi Mda*
    The nutritional status of HIV-infected children in terms of anthropometric indices and micronutrient concentrations is commonly compromised. Malnutrition is a risk factor for mortality at initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The role of HAART is pivotal in the management of HIV-infected children. Treatment with HAART has been shown to decrease m ...
