Objectives

• Present in a case-based discussion format –unique scenarios which highlight interesting concepts in Pediatric HIV care

• Utilization of Post-exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)

• Acute HIV Infection in a teenager• Rheumatologic complications of HIV

disease

Case #1• A 10 year African-American female with perinatal

HIV infection• On Epivir, Stavudine and Lopinavir/r for three +

years.• Viral load has been <50 for 3 years• CD4 counts are stable @ 29-39% (765-1259)• CDC Classification B3 – recurrent bacterial

infections and CD4 % < 15% repeatedly @ 4 years of age

• History of peripheral neuropathy – improved on Vitamin B6 50mg daily

Case #1

• !0 yo AA female present to the ER with pain in her left foot and left buttocks / hip without fever, gait reported as normal

• Urinalysis shows + leukocyte esterase, 10 WBCs, 5 RBCs (subsequent culture + for Enterococcus >100,000 cfus)

• Positive Family History for “Rheumatoid Arthritis in the Paternal Grandmother

• Recent VL <50, CD4 28%, 966• Given Septra for UTI, and hydrocodone for hip

pain

What is the most likely diagnosis at this time?

1. HIV-associated arthralgia / myalgia

2. Reactive Arthritis3. Septic arthritis /

osteomyelitis4. Systemic Lupus

Erythematosis

Rheumatologic Manifestations of HIV Infection

Common Disorders• HIV assoc. arthralgia/myalgia• Reactive arthritis• Psoriatic arthritis• Vasculitis• Polymyositis• Pyomyositis• Septic arthritis/osteomyelitis• Zidovudine myositis

Less Common Disorders• Avascular necrosis• Rhabdomyolysis• Diffuse infiltrative

lymphocytosis syndrome (DILS)

• Rheumatoid arthritis• Systemic lupus

erythematosis• Sarcoidosis

Case #1• This 10 year old AA female returns 6 weeks later complaining of

different joint pains, especially the left knee > right knee, no dysuria, no fevers, a 3 pound weight loss, and occasional loose stools

• She has a red, warm, swollen left knee > the simply swollen right knee and decreased ROM of wrists and ankles due to pain not weakness (no “arthritis”)

• Rapid Strept throat swab + culture, urinalysis and culture, stool cultures, Urine for GC/CZ, ASO, PCR for CMV, EBV, HBV, HCV, HTLV-I and Parvovirus, along with a Rheumatologic panel and routine HIV labs are sent

• Patient is given Naprosyn 375 mg PO BID, Prevacid for symptomatic treatment

Arthritis of Left Knee

What is the most likely diagnosis at this time?

1. Rheumatic Fever2. Reactive Arthritis3. HIV associated

Arthritis4. Rheumatoid Arthritis5. Systemic Lupus

Erythematosis

Case #1• All the “reactive arthritis” labs are negative.• Her VL is <50 and CD4 counts are stable.• The ANA is positive 1:1280. The RNP, SSA and SSB, Smith Ab, Anti-

phospholipid Ab and Histone Ab are all positive with normal C3 and C4 levels.

• The tentative diagnosis is drug mediated autoimmune antibody response (Kaletra). Pt. continues on Prevacid, Indocin, and ASA with symptomatic relief.

• Her ARVs are changed based on Genotype testing and she intermittently has VL < 50 due to poor compliance.

• She is followed by the Rheumatology and ID services.

Case #1

• 18 months later this 12 yo female develops hematuria and proteinuria along with very low C3 and C4 levels and “re-elevation” of her autoimmune antibodies (ANA again 1:1280)

• A renal biopsy shows diffuse proliferative immune complex (IgG, IgM, C3 and C1q) glomerulonephritis, most consistent with lupus nephritis, Class IV-G.

Case #1

• This patient is now almost 16 years old with reasonable control of her Lupus nephritis and arthritis with monthly infusions of corticosteroids and cytoxan.

• Her medical care has been complicated by the separation and divorce of her parents.

• Her HIV is poorly controlled due to non-compliance with her ARV regimen.

Lupus NephritisWHO Class IV-G

Case #1Take Home Points

• Musculoskeletal disease in association with HIV is more common.

• Rheumatologic disease is also more common.• Effective ARV therapy / control is an important

aspect of therapy for these patients.• Corticosteroids is the mainstay of therapy in

most rheumatologic disease with HIV• Cytotoxic agents can be used in refractory cases,

with CD4 counts > 200.

Case #2• 17 yo WM presents to the ER with fevers, decreased

energy and whole body aches for 2 weeks, diarrhea and 3 lb. weight loss in the last week, arthalgia in lower extremities, a new rash on hands and feet

• Patient reports unprotected receptive anal intercourse• The patient has a 1.5 cm “painless” ulcer on the corona

of his penis. Temperature is 38.8 C. Both knees are swollen , warm but not red. His tonsils are 2+ without exudate or other oral lesions noted. There are multiple, bilateral 1-2cm. anterior cervical nodes which are mildly tender and non-tender 1 cm. inguinal LNs. His palms and soles have multiple 0.5-1 cm. red macules.

• His neurological exam is entirely normal.

Mutations

• RT mutations- 184V, T215Y/D, A62V

• PI mutations: L10I, M36I/V, I54M, D60E, L63, A71T, V77I, L90M

Mutation Interpretation

• PI Major Resistance Mutations: I54M, L90M PI

• Minor Resistance Mutations: L10I, A71T Other Mutations: M36IV, D60E, L63P, V77I

Mutation Interpretation

• NRTI Resistance Mutations: A62DV, M184V, T215DY

• NNRTI Resistance Mutations: None • Other Mutations: None

Mutation Interpretation• M184V/I cause high-level in vitro resistance to 3TC and FTC

and low-level in vitro resistance to ddI and ABC. M184V/I increases susceptibility to AZT, TDF, and d4T.

• T215Y causes AZT and D4T resistance and reduces susceptibility to ABC, ddI, and TDF particularly when it occurs in combination with M41L and L210W.

• T215S/C/D/E/I/V are transitions between wild type and the mutations Y and F.

• Other A62V is associated with multinucleoside resistance caused by Q151M; its effect in the absence of Q151M is not known.

What is the next best step? He wants to take medications but is tired of taking so many

pills1. Take him off all HAART

and start OI prophylaxis

2. Take him off all HAART, start OI prophylaxis, start 3TC

3. Start new regimen4. Adherence counseling

What regimen options would you choose?

1. Atripla® (efavirenz/tenofovir/ emtricitabine) + Raltegravir
