Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has reduced AIDS deaths but introduced new challenges. These include lipodystrophy syndrome and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, requiring further research for diagnosis and management.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Immunology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Since 1997, protease inhibitors (PI) have been available in Japan, leading to the adoption of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for HIV treatment.
  • HAART, combining reverse transcriptase inhibitors with PIs, significantly decreased opportunistic infections and AIDS-related deaths in Japan and the US.

Purpose:

  • To review the benefits and emerging challenges of HAART in HIV treatment.
  • To highlight novel side effects and inflammatory reactions associated with HAART.

Summary:

  • HAART has dramatically reduced AIDS mortality but is associated with lipodystrophy syndrome (LDS), characterized by lipid and glucose metabolism abnormalities, potentially leading to ischemic heart disease.
  • Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) can occur during HAART, presenting as severe inflammatory reactions to opportunistic pathogens, often necessitating corticosteroid treatment.

Impact:

  • The emergence of LDS and IRIS poses new challenges in managing HIV patients on HAART.
  • Further research is needed to establish diagnostic criteria and optimal management strategies for these HAART-related complications.
