Background: There are pediatric patients receiving many highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimens entailing drug resistance mutations that complicate HAART effective therapies.Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective study of 19 multidrug-resistant children and adolescents enrolled from July 2007 to October 2009. Patients were nonresponders because no reduction in HIV type 1 (HIV-1) RNA to undetectable levels was observed during their previous antiretroviral treatment history. The long-term effectiveness of raltegravir (RAL)-based salvage therapy was assessed through a longitudinal analysis of immunologic, virologic, and clinical status of the patients.Results: Median age was 16.0 (15.0-18.0) years. At baseline, median HIV-1 RNA was 10,000 (4.0 log(10) copies/mL) (interquartile range [IQR] : 4300-83,000), and median CD4(+)T-cell count was 329 (18.2% cells/mu L) (IQR: 175-452). The backbone regimen included at least 1 fully active drug in 17/19 (89%) patients. Median follow-up with HAART including RAL was 80.1 weeks (IQR: 49.4-96.4): 16/19 (84%) exposed for >120 weeks and 6/19 (32%) >100 weeks. After RAL-based therapy, 4/19 (21%) patients achieved HIV-1 RNA
