Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Nowadays the number of HIV infected persons is increasing day by day. As NACO has advised HAART to every HIV patient, so study of HAART and its toxicity has became important area of study. We have performed this observational prospective study to evaluate the cause of pancreatitis in HIV cases. In our study, 50 patients were included among which 72% cases had advanced immunosuppression. Most important etiological factor for pancreatitis in our study was NRTI based regimen (TL based,60%). The etiological profile in 32 (64%) cases was multifactorial such as NRTI and other pancreatotoxic drugs such as CPT (52%) or AKT(44%) (INH or R’cin) or OI. Most common OI causing pancreatitis was tuberculosis (44% cases). The usual causes of pancreatitis such as alcoholism, gall stones and hypercalcemia were very less.
