Efavirenz, used in treating pediatric human immunodeficiency virus infection, has central nervous system side effects. We report on a 5-year-old girl with perinatally acquired human immunodeficiency virus infection, presenting with new onset absence seizures after starting treatment with efavirenz. Plasma efavirenz values were above therapeutic range. The child was homozygous for the CYP2B6-516T/T genotype, which is associated with poor efavirenz clearance. Seizures abated after efavirenz discontinuation.
依非韦伦,用于治疗儿科人类免疫缺陷病毒感染,具有中枢神经系统副作用。我们报告了一例 5 岁女孩,患有围产期获得的人类免疫缺陷病毒感染,在开始依非韦伦治疗后出现新发失神发作。依非韦伦的血药浓度高于治疗范围。该患儿为 CYP2B6-516T/T 基因型纯合子,与依非韦伦清除率降低相关。停用依非韦伦后癫痫发作停止。
