Background: Tenofovir (TDF) is a nucleotide with dual activity against HIV and hepatitis B (HBV)<br />
viruses. Thus, it has become the antiviral of choice <strong>for</strong> HIV-HBV co-infected patients when<br />
treatment <strong>for</strong> both viral infections is indicated.<br />
Methods: We reviewed 19 medical records of patients who received tenofovir as part of the<br />
antiviral treatment. Five patients had previously received 3TC (lamivudine) as part of HAART.<br />
Immunological parameters were recorded <strong>for</strong> HIV infection (CD4/mm3), AST, ALT and viral loads<br />
<strong>for</strong> HIV and HBV were followed over an average period of 27 months (range, 3-44m).<br />
Results: All patients were male and the median age was 42 years (range, 29-65). Concomitant<br />
antiviral medications were 1 NRTI +1 NNRTI (3TC/FTC) in 13 patients, 1 ritonavir-boosted PI + 1<br />
NNRTI in 1 patient, 1 PI + 1 NRTI (3TC or FTC) in 4 patients and 1 IP ritonavir-boosted + 2NRTI<br />
(AZT + 3TC) in 1 patient. The mean HBV DNA at baseline was: 6.53 log. Six patients presented<br />
at baseline with normal ALT and 13 a mean elevation of AST/ALT x 3,8/x 5. The results of liver<br />
biopsy were available <strong>for</strong> 6 patients: 1 had cirrhosis, 3 mild chronic hepatitis (stage 1), 2<br />
moderate chronic hepatitis (stage 2). 17 patients were HBeAg positive, and two were HBeAg<br />
negative at baseline. Seven out of 17 patients underwent HBeAg loss and seroconversion to anti<br />
e. Loss of HBsAg was documented in 1 patient. HBV-DNA follow up was available in 17/19<br />
patients (2/19 pending). 13/17 achieved HBV-DNA undetectability (mean 58 weeks). 4/17<br />
reduced their HBV-DNA by a mean of 4.75 log (range: 3.1 to 6.2 log) with a mean follow up of 33<br />
weeks. Among 13 patients who had abnormal ALT at baseline, 9 normalized during the follow up.<br />
Among patients previously experienced with 3TC: 4 achieved undetectable HBV DNA and the<br />
other decreased 6.2 log from baseline.<br />
Conclusion: As pointed out by the international literature, we found a high virological and<br />
biochemical efficacy of TDF in HIV-HBV co-infected patients, in terms of HBV antiviral inhibition in<br />
both previously treated with 3TC and naive patients.
