We present the case of an HIV/HCV-coinfected patient with HIV-related pulmonary hypertension (HRPH) who experienced a good clinical and functional response to bosentan, with a subsequent switch to oral sildenafil due to increased transaminase levels. Bosentan resulted less handy in this case, probably due to both side effects and co-morbidities.
我们报告了一例合并感染HIV/HCV且患有HIV相关肺动脉高压(HRPH)的患者,该患者使用波生坦后临床及功能方面均有良好反应,随后因转氨酶水平升高改用口服西地那非。在该病例中,波生坦使用起来不太方便,这可能是由副作用和合并症共同导致的。
