Abstract

We develop a differential diagnosis and diagnostic approach to a possible drug-drug interaction between a cART based on boosted atazanavir and newly given drugs. History taking should not only encompass prescribed but also over-the-counter medication. Exchange of information between attending physicians as to therapeutic changes, documented side effects and adherence, therapeutic drug monitoring of cART and evaluation by pharmacologist in complex situations are the diagnostic tools at hand.
