Paired plasma and dried blood spots (DBS) from 232 South African HIV-infected children initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) were genotyped for drug resistance mutations, most of who had prior exposure to ART for prevention-of-mother-to-child-transmission. Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor mutations were most commonly detected in both specimen types, particularly Y181C/I and K103N/S. Resistance interpretation concordance was achieved in 97% of pairs with seven children having mutations detected in DBS only. These results validate the preferential use of DBS specimens for HIVDR genotyping in this patient group.
对232名开始接受抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)的南非感染艾滋病毒儿童的配对血浆和干血斑(DBS)进行耐药性突变基因分型,其中大多数儿童此前曾接受过预防母婴传播的ART治疗。两种样本类型中最常检测到非核苷类逆转录酶抑制剂突变,尤其是Y181C/I和K103N/S。97%的配对实现了耐药性解读一致性,7名儿童仅在DBS中检测到突变。这些结果证实了在该患者群体中优先使用DBS样本进行HIVDR基因分型。
