Of the 59 patients (adults) who have been identified to have a virus with a high level resistance to HAART drugs, in 38 (64.4%) patients mutation M184V/I was identified. In 27 (45.8%) patients (13 female and 14 male) K103N mutation was detected. In 20 (33.9%) patients (16 male and 4 female) we found G190G/S/A mutation. Of the 18 childrenpatients, born to HIV-infected mothers, in 15 (83.3%) cases (9 girls and 6 boys) we detected HIV resistance mutation M184V. In 10 (55.6%) and 2 (11.1%) cases mutations in position G190S and K103S were found, respectively. Of 82 samples collected from newly diagnosed HIV-infected antiretroviral naïve patients only 6 samples (7.3%) had other resistance mutations which can be classified as 'minor' or 'other' according to HIVDR database of Stanford University: L10V - PI minor mutation associated with resistance to most PIs when present with other muta..
