Vertical transmission of multidrug-resistant Q151M human immunodeficiency virus type 1 strains

Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2008 Mar;27(3):278-80. doi: 10.1097/INF.0b013e31815db4c6.

Abstract

We report the first case of mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 strains harboring multiple mutations including the Q151M multinucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor resistance mutation. Sustained virologic success was obtained in the infant with postnatal antiretroviral therapy optimized according to genotypic drug resistance testing and therapeutic drug monitoring.
