BackgroundWe evaluated the efficacy, safety and tolerability of etravirine in paediatric patients vertically infected with HIV-1.MethodsA multicentre retrospective study of 23 multidrug-resistant paediatric patients (five children and 18 adolescents) enrolled in the study from 1 September 2007 to 28 February 2010 was carried out. We performed a longitudinal analysis of immunological, virological and clinical data.ResultsThe median age of the patients was 14.2 years [interquartile range (IQR) 12.5-15.8 years]. At baseline, the median HIV-1 RNA was 29 000 (4.5 log(10)) HIV-1 RNA copies/mL (range 4300-83 000 copies/mL), the median CD4 T-cell count was 445 cells/mu L (range 221-655 cells/mu L) and the median CD4 percentage was 19.6% (IQR 13.0-31.0). Remarkably, 16 of 23 patients (70%) harboured one or more etravirine-associated resistance mutations. The backbone regimen included at least two fully active drugs in 91% of patients. After etravirine-based therapy, 20 patients (87%) achieved HIV-1 RNA
