- W2035364235 abstract "Raltegravir, the first approved HIV integrase inhibitor, has demonstrated an excellent safety and tolerability profile in several clinical trials [1] and is currently used widely as one of the key components of salvage regimens. However, the duration of clinical use is relatively short, and unknown adverse effect may occur. Here, we report one case of peritonitis associated with use of raltegravir. Abdominal symptoms appeared within 2 weeks of commencement of treatment, and raltegravir had to be stopped due to worsening of clinical condition. Case report The patient was a 49-year-old Japanese hemophiliac coinfected with HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV). HIV-RNA was undetectable, and CD4+ cell count was above 500 cells/μl for more than 5 years under the combination of abacavir, nevirapine and lopinavir/ritonavir. In January 2009, lopinavir/ritonavir was replaced with raltegravir because of bleeding tendency related to the use of a protease inhibitor. Abacavir and nevirapine were continued, and no other drugs were modified. The patient visited the hospital on day 18 after the use of raltegravir, complaining of a gradually worsening pain in the right upper abdomen and lower chest wall for 3 days. A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug was not effective, and a computed tomography (CT) scan performed 11 days after the onset of the symptom revealed contrast enhancement of the liver surface (Fig. 1a) and fatty stranding of the greater omentum (Fig. 1b), which are findings compatible with perihepatitis and peritonitis. Oral prednisone (60 mg/day for 3 days, then 30 mg/day for 3 days) was prescribed, and all the symptoms resolved immediately. However, abdominal symptoms developed again after withdrawal of prednisone, necessitating its reintroduction on day 31 at 30 mg/day. Attempts to taper prednisone led to worsening of abdominal pain and development of stomatitis, resulting in continuation of treatment at 20 mg/day. Raltegravir was switched to lopinavir/ritonavir 11 weeks after the onset of abdominal pain and, finally, all antiretroviral drugs were terminated 4 days later because of diarrhea and bleeding related to lopinavir/ritonavir. Abdominal symptoms gradually improved, and prednisone could be tapered to 10 mg/day within 2 weeks. A CT scan performed 10 days after cessation of antiretroviral therapy showed an improvement of perihepatic enhancement. C-reactive protein levels increased to 1.42 mg/dl during raltegravir use and fell to normal levels 6 days after discontinuation of raltegravir. Other laboratory data including transaminase levels showed no changes, and CD4+ cell count and HIV-RNA were stable throughout the course.Fig. 1: A computed tomography scan performed 11 days after the onset of the symptoms. A computed tomography scan shows contrast enhancement around the liver surface (a) and fatty stranding of the greater omentum (b).This is the first reported case of severe peritonitis associated with raltegravir use. Although not described here, we have experienced several other cases with similar abdominal symptoms that disappeared after raltegravir termination. Several case reports have recently described previously unknown adverse effects related to raltegravir, such as rhabdomyolysis [2] and exacerbation of depression [3]. However, to our knowledge, raltegravir-associated peritonitis has not been reported. In the BENCHMRK (Blocking integrase in treatment Experienced patients with a Novel Compound against HIV: MeRcK, MK-0518) study [1], abdominal symptoms, such as diarrhea and nausea, were noted in patients on raltegravir, and some of which might be associated with mild peritonitis. Fortunately, raltegravir-associated peritonitis seemed reversible, at least to some extent. However, the longer use of raltegravir after onset of symptoms may lead to irreversible and lethal sequelae. Cessation of antiretroviral therapy as a result of severe abdominal symptoms is a potential risk for re-emergence of acute retroviral syndrome or the further accumulation of HIV-resistant mutations. Whether the described side effects are universal or related to Asians, hemophiliacs or those who have underlying liver disease is unknown at present. Careful monitoring of abdominal symptoms and the consideration of an appropriate radiographic examination are warranted after commencement of raltegravir-containing regimens.
