RESUMEN
We analyzed the case of a 49-year-old woman with HIV infection off-therapy with poor viro-immunological compensation, not vaccinated for SARS-COV-2, hospitalized for lobar pneumonia and severe COVID19-related respiratory failure in intensive care unit (ICU). The hospitalization was complicated by bacteraemic ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB) isolated on pleural fluid culture, treated with colistin and cefiderocol for about three weeks. The molecular research of MDR-AB on transtracheal aspirate was negative following this therapy. The aim is to show the safety, efficacy and tolerability of colistin-based combination therapy with cefiderocol for Acinetobacter baumannii infection in HIV-infected patient.

RESUMEN
Aim of this study is to assess the impact of doravirine (DOR)-based regimens on cardiovascular risk in treatment-experienced people living with HIV (PLWHIV). We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 40 treatment-experienced PLWHIV switching to a DOR-based three-drug regimen, evaluating 10-year risk of manifesting clinical cardiovascular diseases (CD) through the Framingham Risk Score at baseline, 12, and 24 weeks of follow-up. At baseline, median predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease (10Y-CD) was 8.0% (interquartile range 4.0-13.0). After 12 weeks, we observed a significant reduction in 10Y-CD (mean decrease -2.21, p = .012); similarly, we observed a nonsignificant reduction at week 24 (p = .336). Regarding metabolic parameters, after 24 weeks we observed a significant reduction in total cholesterol (median change -8.8 mg/dL, p = .018), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (median -9.5 mg/dL, p = .007), and triglycerides (median -19.8 mg/dL, p < .001). Our results show a favorable metabolic impact of DOR-based regimens along with a promising reduction in 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease.
