Abstract

SummaryIn the presented multicenter study an attempt was made to evaluate the role of nevirapine used in treatment of HIV-seropositive patients in both groups: naive as well as experienced. The therapeutic effect was evaluated while analysing the HIV-RNA level and the increase in CD4 cell count. The reasons for which the new schema with nevirapine was introduced in experienced patients were as well analysed. Among these reasons were mainly side effects of different character. On the basis of the obtained results very good virologic response was reported in both groups, naive and previously treated. Immunologic response in both populations discussed was similar though the initial level of CD4 was two times lower in naive patients in comparison with experienced population.
