Antiretroviral-related hematologic short-term toxicity in healthy infants: implications of the new neonatal 4-week zidovudine regimen
Abstract
Recent updates of the guidelines on the prevention of human immunodeficiency virus mother-to-child transmission have shortened the neonatal zidovudine prophylactic regimens from 6 to 4 weeks. We present a prospective observational study in a large cohort of mother-infant pairs and report that the 4-week regimen allows an earlier recovery of the anemia in these otherwise healthy infants.
