A1 Pulido Ortega, Federico A1 Rubio García, Rafael A1 Costa, M.A. A1 Monsalvo, R. A1 Palenque, E. A1 Costa, J.R. A1 Palacio Pérez-Medel, Ángel Del AB Setting: Paradoxical worsening or relapse of opportunistic infections has been described after initiation of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients.Design: Retrospective study of a group of 33 HIV-infected patients with mycobacterial disease analysing the incidence and characteristics of patients with and without paradoxical response after starting HAART and/or mycobacterial treatment.Results: Nine patients in the group had paradoxical response. No significant difference of baseline characteristics was observed in these patients. The decrease in viral load was significantly greater among patients with paradoxical response than in patients without.Conclusion: No clinical difference was found in the evolution of HIV-infected patients with mycobacterial disease after the resolution of the episode of paradoxical response.
