BACKGROUND
Most of the studies evaluating rash in HIV-positive patients have focused on nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI), particularly nevirapine, and little is known about the occurrence of rash and the risk factors for its development in patients receiving regimens not based
The hallmarks of severe meningococcal sepsis include the rapid onset of shock, purpuric rash, and metabolic derangement, in particular, hypocalcemia. The severe ecchymoses and purpura associated with meningococcal sepsis are usually attributed to acute thrombotic episodes, attributable to the
Despite numerous drug interactions that occur with human immunodeficiency virus-1 protease inhibitors, there are relatively few drug reactions. We present two patients receiving saquinavir who developed fixed drug reactions. Both reactions cleared while patients received a therapeutic dose of the
Defects in growth control and differentiation occur frequently in human cancers. In the case of human melanoma cells, treatment with a combination of fibroblast interferon (IFN-beta) and the protein kinase C activator mezerein (MEZ) results in an irreversible loss of proliferative potential and
Eruption results in the movement of the tooth from an intraosseous to a functional position in the mouth. This physiological movement occurs through a path of least resistance and is mediated by the dental follicle. In this study the presence of a 80-kDa proteinase of the gelatinase family in the
Two patients with HIV disease developed a pruritic, maculo-papular rash shortly after introducing an association of 2 protease inhibitors (PI) lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra). The dermatitis started respectively 7 and 10 days after taking Kaletra, improved on withdrawal, and relapsed following its
BACKGROUND
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) may fail, especially in pre-treated patients.
OBJECTIVE
To examine retrospectively whether heavily pre-treated patients not responding to HAART at least once respond to a salvage therapy with abacavir, a nucleoside reverse transcriptase
Boceprevir and telaprevir are the first HCV protease inhibitors to be approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 infection. These drugs must be used in combination with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin (P/R) to maximize efficacy and prevent the emergence of resistance-associated
The aim of this database analysis was to investigate the efficacy and safety of efavirenz (EFV)-based highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) after switching from failed protease inhibitor (PI)- and boosted PI (PI/r)-based regimens. Data were analyzed from 17 adult patients previously treated
Telaprevir is a specific inhibitor of the hepatitis C (HCV) serine protease 3. Cutaneous side effects have been reported with telaprevir. Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare yet severe adverse drug-induced reaction characterized by exfoliative dermatitis and
OBJECTIVE
To review the use of telaprevir for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C.
METHODS
Clinical studies were identified through MEDLINE (1966-January 2011), bibliographies of articles, clinicaltrials.gov, and fda.gov, using key words VX-950, telaprevir, and chronic hepatitis C.
METHODS
Phase 1,
In 2011 the European Medicines Agency approved two new drugs (boceprevir and telaprevir) to treat patients with chronic hepatitis C or compensated liver cirrhosis infected with genotype 1 HCV. Their usage together with a standard therapy, ie. pegylated interferon alfa and ribavirin significantly
The possible involvement of mast cell tryptase and chymase in subepidermal bullous diseases was studied enzyme-histochemically in specimens from erythematous and vesicular skin and from non-involved skin of patients with dermatitis herpetiformis, bullous pemphigoid, erythema multiforme, infective
BACKGROUND
Telaprevir-induced rash is a common, therapy-limiting adverse drug event (ADE) for patients with hepatitis c virus (HCV) infection. Given the similarity between telaprevir and simeprevir, real-world management of rash during treatment with an NS3/4A protease inhibitor and its implications
This study contributes to the understanding of the mechanisms associated with signs and symptoms of tooth eruption, by investigating the presence of mast cells in pericoronal tissues during the intraosseous (Group 1) and submucosal (Group 2) phases of eruption. We compared findings for these two
