Abstract
Objectives To compare the antiviral efficacy of a salvage therapy combining lopinavir and amprenavir with 200 mg/d or 400 mg/d ritonavir, together with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, over a 26-week period in HIV-infected patients in whom multiple anti-retroviral regimens had failed. Design Phase IIb, randomized, open-label, multicentre trial. Patients were eligible if they had <500 CD4+ cells/mm3 and >4 log10 copies/ml HIV-RNA after treatment with at least two protease inhibitors (PIs) and one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Results At baseline ( n=37), the median CD4+ cell count was 207/mm3 and the median plasma HIV-1 RNA level was 4.7 log10 copies/ml; the median number of PI mutations was seven and the median decrease in phenotypic susceptibility to lopinavir and amprenavir was 9.7 and 2.6, respectively. The mean number of antiretrovirals received prior to randomization was 7.7. The fall in the median HIV-1 RNA level at week 26 was -1.4 log10 copies/ml in the 200 mg/d ritonavir group and -2.5 log10 copies/ml in the 400 mg/d group ( P=0.02). Viral load fell below 50 copies/ml in 32% and 61% of patients, respectively ( P=0.07). After adjustment for the ritonavir dose, a smaller number of PI mutations was the only baseline characteristic associated with a better virological response at week 26. Amprenavir concentrations were significantly lower in presence of lopinavir. The lopinavir inhibitory quotient at week 6 correlated weakly with the change in the HIV-RNA level at week 26. Conclusion Combination of amprenavir, lopinavir and 400 mg/d ritonavir shows significant virological efficacy without increased toxicity in HIV-infected patients in whom multiple antiretroviral regimens have failed.

Abstract
PURPOSE In medical literature, primary pulmonary hypertension occurs in 0.5% of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, irrespective of the stage of the HIV disease, and is more frequent in drug users. Plexogenic arteriopathy is the most frequent histological lesion. METHODS We retrospectively report on nine cases of primary pulmonary hypertension during HIV infection. RESULTS The subjects were four women and five men, mean age 38 years old. Four of them had been sexually contaminated and five had contracted the disease through intravenous drug use. At the time primary pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed, mean CD4 cell count was 234 +/- 217/mm3 and the viral load was low or undetectable. Primary pulmonary hypertension has been diagnosed an average of 7 months after the first cardiovascular clinical signs had started. Despite anti-coagulant (7/9 cases), vasodilatator (4/9 cases) and/or diuretic (7/9 cases) therapy, the progression of the disease quickly turned out to be negative (seven deaths). CONCLUSION Diagnosis of primary pulmonary hypertension should be considered when unexplained dyspnea occurs in an HIV-positive patient. At initial evaluation, alterations of hemodynamic parameters are usually less severe than during idiopathic primary pulmonary hypertension, but their progression is quicker and more severe, independent of the patient's immune status. Current data do not allow the determination of whether antiretroviral therapy is active in primary pulmonary hypertension evolution. Therapeutic evaluation with prostacyclin is currently being carried out. While the life expectancy of HIV-infected patients extends, primary pulmonary hypertension occurrence could increase and call for early diagnosis, thus allowing for specific care.
