  Objective: To evaluate the prevalence, causes, patterns, severity and risk factors of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in Chinese HIV-infected patients with opportunistic infections. Methods: HIV-infected patients with opportunistic infections with DILI were studied in Beijing Ditan Hospital between Jan.1, 2009 and Nov.30, 2012, and risk factors of DILI were evaluated using multivariate Cox Proportional Hazards Model. Results: In 797 patients, 144 (18.1%) were diagnosed as DILI after receiving treatment of opportunistic infections or antiretroviral therapy. The leading causes were Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) (43.9%), anti-tuberculosis medications (13.7%), nevirapine (6.9%), anti-fungal drugs (4.7%) and efavirenz (1.2%). The median duration between agents’ exposure and DILI recognition for hepatocellular, cholestatic and mixed pattern was statistically.. Read More»
