RESUMO
Objective: To assess the secondary resistance patterns of HIV-1to Anti-Retroviral Agents drugs (ART) in patients with virological failure in the main HIV care center in Guatemala. Methods: Using the Stanford HIV Database,HIV pol sequences were analyzed to obtain resistance patterns in patients with first-failure to ART or multiple-failures (2 or more regimens failed), from 2008 to 2012. Proportions and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated. Results: 83% (43) in the first-failure and 75% (30) in multiple-failures had resistance. The highest frequency (70%)of resistance was found in the non-nucleoside-inhibitors ART family. 44% (42) showed resistance to two ART families and 4% (4) to the three families. First-failure patients had higher risk of nucleoside-inhibitor resistance (OR:3.0, 95%CI 1.29-6.98) and multidrug resistance (OR:4.94, 95%CI 1.98-12.32). Most frequent mutations were: M184V, K103N and K65R (71, 50 and 22%, respectively). 70% of patients with first-failure were resistant to at least one of the drugs used as second ART in Guatemala (ABC, ddI or AZT). Conclusions: The high level of HIV-1 resistance to ART observed, suggest the need to amend the current second line regimen treatments in Guatemala and the importance of viral genotyping in all patients with first-failure to ART.
Objetivo: Evaluar el perfil de resistencia secundaria del VIH-1 a anti-retrovirales (ARV) en pacientes con fallo virológico en la clínica de atención integral más grande de Guatemala. Métodos: Uso de Stanford HIV Database para análisis de secuencias pol para perfiles de resistencia de VIH en pacientes con fallo virológico al primer esquema ARV o fallo múltiple (dos o más esquemas ARV fallidos), entre los años 2008 y 2012. Determinación de proporciones y análisis de riesgo. Resultados: Evidencia de resistencia de 83% (n: 43) en primer fallo y 75% (n: 30) en fallo múltiple. La mayor frecuencia de resistencia se presentó en los inhibidores-no-nucleosídicos (70%). Cuarenta y cuatro por ciento (n: 42) evidenció resistencia a dos familias de ARV y 4% (n: 4) a las tres familias. Pacientes con primer fallo tuvieron más riesgo de resistencia a inhibidores-nucleosídicos (OR: 3,0; IC 95% 1,29-6,98) y más riesgo de multi-resistencia (OR: 4,94; IC 95% 1,98-12,32). Mutaciones más frecuentes fueron: M184V, K103N y K65R (71, 50 y 22%, respectivamente). Setenta por ciento de los pacientes con primer fallo presentaron resistencia a al menos uno de los medicamentos utilizado como segunda línea en Guatemala (ABC/ddI/AZT). Conclusiones: El alto nivel de resistencia del VIH-1 a los ARV observada, sugiere la necesidad de modificar el actual esquema terapéutico de rescate en Guatemala y la importancia de realizar genotipificación viral en todos los pacientes con fallo al primer esquema.
