Abstract
Osteonecrosis has shown an increased incidence in HIV-infected patients during the last few years, and has been looked as a side effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy, possibly related to hyperlipidemia. Five cases of osteonecrosis were observed among over 1300 patients with HIV disease. According to our experience, novel antiretroviral regimens do not represent a constant risk factor for avascular necrosis of bone during HIV infection.Entities:
