We report a case of dolutegravir resistance in KwaZulu-Natal in a 13-year-old male two years after starting dolutegravir. Resistance most likely developed due to poor adherence as a result of psychosocial issues. This case highlights the importance of the role of the family unit in impacting adherence and close monitoring of treatment-experienced patients with virologic failure following switching to dolutegravir-based regimens.
我们报告了一例夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省一名13岁男性在开始使用多替拉韦两年后出现多替拉韦耐药的病例。耐药很可能是由于心理社会问题导致依从性差而产生的。该病例凸显了家庭单位在影响依从性以及对转换为基于多替拉韦的治疗方案后出现病毒学失败的有治疗史患者进行密切监测方面所起作用的重要性。
