Early Infant HIV Treatment in Botswana

Más betegség

• Hospitalization for life-threatening medical illness
• Medical condition making it unlikely that the infant will survive to 96 weeks

Laborértékek

• If lab values are available prior to enrollment, the following Division of AIDS 2014 graded results, from samples collected within 7 days prior to entry without subsequent testing, will exclude an infant:
  • Grade ≥3 ALT
  • Grade ≥3 AST
  • Grade ≥4 hemoglobin
  • Note: Baseline lab values may not be available at the time of ART start. However, as soon as these values are available (occasionally within <24 hours), they will be used to make rapid treatment decisions. Neonates with baseline Grade 4 hemoglobin will be called immediately to have ZDV discontinued if the value is confirmed. Neonates with baseline Grade 3 or 4 ALT or AST will be called immediately to stop either NVP or LPV/r if the value is confirmed. Neonates who remain on ART may remain on study. Neonates who discontinue all ART for pre-ART laboratory abnormalities will not be counted against total enrollments.
