ABSTRACT
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has resulted in dramatic declines in morbidity and mortality in HIV-I infected patients in the developed world. However, with the availability of generic antiretroviral treatments (ART) in India, a large number of patients now receive ART. Increase in experience with ART has led to the detection of drug-related toxicities. We report herein potentially fatal side effects associated with the use of nucleoside analogues in HIV treatment--hyperlactatemia and lactic acidosis/hepatic steatosis.
