Abstract

   According to the World Health Organization, sustained virological suppression of 90 % should be achieved among children and adolescents living with HIV / AIDS, which makes it important to assess the prevalence of virological failure of antiretroviral therapy.   The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of virological failure and the clinical factors associated with it, as well as therapeutic drug monitoring in groups divided by the viral load level among children and adolescents with HIV.   Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of the medical records of 184 children and adolescents receiving antiretroviral therapy and registered at the Irkutsk Regional Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS and Infectious Diseases, Irkutsk, was carried out. The study included 172 children aged 1-18 years with perinatal HIV infection. Patients were divided into groups depending on the level of viral load: group 1 – 21 patients with viral load > 1000 copies/ml of plasma, group 2 – 42 patients with viral load 50– 1000 copies/ml of plasma, group 3 – 109 patients with undetectable viral load (< 50 copies/ml). All patients underwent standard tests in accordance with clinical guidelines for the treatment of HIV infection in children, as well as therapeutic drug monitoring.   Results. Against the background of ongoing antiretroviral therapy, a significant number of patients 21 / 172 (12,2 %) experienced virological failure. The proportion of children and adolescents with incomplete suppression of HIV replication is 42 / 172 (24,4 %). Statistically significant differences were obtained by changing the ART regimen (p = 0,031). In the first group, the proportion of patients who changed the therapy regimen is 7 / 21 (33,3 %), which is two times less than in the group with a zero viral load of 70 / 109 (64,2 %). There are differences in the proportion of children and adolescents with zero concentrations of ritonavir and lopinavir (p = 0,020 and p = 0,012) in the three compared groups. The distribution of patients with zero concentrations was as follows: for ritonavir in the first group 3 / 17 (17,6 %), in the second – 8/37 (21,6 %), in the third group – 4/80 (5 %); for lopinavir – 4/17 (23,5 %), 6/36 (16,7 %), 3/80 (3,8 %), respectively.   Conclusion. This study demonstrates that the prevalence of virological failure among children and adolescents receiving ART remains high. To achieve sustained virological suppression in children and adolescents taking a protease inhibitor regimen, adherence to therapy must be increased. As one of the methods for assessing adherence, therapeutic drug monitoring can be used.
