| dc.description.abstract | We report a case of a 19 year old university student diagnosed with
HIV and acute lymphocytic leukaemia 5 years ago. He presented with severe
anaemia necessitating multiple transfusions at theageof fourteen. Bone marrow
aspirate confirmed ALL-L2 and HIV infection was confirmed by ELISA at the
same time. He completed his induction, consolidation and maintenance courses
successfully with only essential hospital admissions. HAART was initiated soon
after initiation of chemotherapy. Initial HAART regimen was D4T/3TC/EFV.
He was later changed to TDF/3TC/EFV following D4T lipoatrophy. Clinically
he has done well; current CD4 409cells/mm3(25%), VL- 89cp/ml. Bone marrow
shows remission for the last 12months | en_US |
