Nevirapine-associated rash in a Jamaican child with HIV/AIDS.
Nevirapine is one of the first line antiretroviral agents used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS as well as for prophylaxis against mother-to-child transmission of HIV As antiretroviral medication becomes more available it is important for physicians to recognize the major clinical toxicities of these medications. We report a HIV-infected infant who developed a rash with systemic symptoms in association with nevirapine administration.
