Le Mali médical, Volume 22, No. 3, Year 2007

The national policy of assumption of responsibility of the PVVIH decided to put 80% of new inclusions under Triomune, 1st therapeutic line made up of 3TC + D4T + Nevirapine. The use of Nevirapine among patients VIH+ plays a very important part in improvement of the quality of their life. The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical and biological tolerance of Nevirapine at the PVVIH under treatment ARV and having Nevirapine in their diagram. We had collected 102 files of patients. The average age was 38 years. Association Lamivudine + Stavudine + Nevirapine was the diagram most frequently prescribed (82.4%). The skin, mucous and neurological signs, digestive disorders, muscular signs, cardiopulmonary signs were frequently observed in the first month of the treatment but these symptoms became less frequent in the third month and disappeared at the 6th month. We observed disorders in hepatic and renal functional parameters, rise in the lymphocytes. We obtained a considerable increase in the rate of CD4 between the beginning of the treatment and the 6th month. The treatment schema of 3TC + D4T + Nevirapine gives an excellent clinical and biological tolerance. But, the study must continue to confirm these results over a longer period.
