摘要: BACKGROUND: The appropriate timing of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy initiation in children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been uncertain. There was evidence poorer outcome adults who initiated treatment at lower baseline CD4 cell count. However, early may not be possible resource-limited setting and would increased risk long term side effects non-adherence. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the HIV-infected ARV different disease stages. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Data from medical records had followed Infectious Disease Division, Department Pediatric Siriraj Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical response data analyzed. RESULTS: From September 1996 to March 2004, there 200 patients a median age 38 (2-175) months. duration follow up period 26 (1-91) count 545 (2-5016) cells/mm3. percentage 14.25 (0.11-60). Monotherapy or dual nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) regimens 134 (67%), HAARTwas 66 (33%) patients. survival rate HAART tended better than those NRTI but salvaged appropriately (p=0.2377). > = 15% < (p=0.0471). CONCLUSION: Initiation more resulted below 15%. regimen improve higher gain especially cases CD4<
