Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive patients treated with the antiretroviral drug abacavir (ABC) may develop a potentially fatal ABC-associated hypersensitivity syndrome (ABC-HS), typically characterized by fever, malaise, rash, vomiting/diarrhoea and/or dyspnoea/cough. ABC-HS 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria (OMIM 246450) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of the final step of leucine catabolic and ketogenic pathways, caused by deficiency of the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA lyase (HL, HMGCL, EC 4.1.3.4). Clinically, deficiency of the enzyme results in
