Abstract
Recent advances in antiretroviral treatment have changed the landscape of pediatric HIV--not only has perinatal treatment markedly diminished HIV transmission rates, but highly active antiretroviral treatments (HAART) have, with few exceptions, transformed HIV into a chronic nonfatal disorder. Antiretroviral therapies are complex and fraught with potential for side effects. The neurologist involved with HIV-infected children should have a firm grasp on the different therapeutic agents used among infected children, especially as regards drug metabolism and indications for treatment.Entities:
