Simon Collins, HIV i-Base
The newly named 11th International Workshop on Adverse Drug Reactions and Co-morbidities in HIV was held this year from 26–28 October 2009 in Philadelphia. The workshop has expanded its earlier focus on lipodystrophyto include coinfection, particularly hepatitis and age-related morbidities including bone, cardiovascular, oncology and neurocognitive complications.
The format for the work shop continues to provide a focused forum for the range of metabolic complications but also recognises that these symptoms are becoming more difficult to view in isolation.
Reports form the meeting this year include:
High incidence and risk factors for diabetes in French cohort
Gender and race differences in lipodystrophy symptoms
Lipodystrophy is common in children from three European cohorts
Visceral adipose tissue returns to baseline after stopping therapeutic rHGH
Reduced levels of vitamin D in patients taking efavirenz
Association between inflammation and sleep apnea in the MACS cohort
Sports supplements impact on serum creatinine and eGFR markers of renal function
Webcasts from the meeting are due to be posted to the conference website shortly.
