Profound neutropenia resulting from interaction between antiretroviral therapy and vinblastine in a patient with HIV-associated Hodgkin's disease
2007
A HIV infected patient was treated for stage IVB Hodgkin's lymphoma by ABVD (doxorubicine, bleomycine, vinblastine, dacarbazine) chemotherapy and lopinavir-ritonavir based antiretroviral therapy inducing profound life-threatening neutropenia. Vinblastine and lopinavir-ritonavir interaction was managed with lopinavir-ritonavir interruption around chemotherapy administration, with complete remission and immuno-virological success after six cycles. This unrecorded strategy is discussed.
