Description

HIV/HBV/HCV coinfected patient on long-term HAART with good immunovirological status (CD4 562, HIV RNA not detectable, HBV DNA not detectable), and on SVR after treatment for HCV with DAAs. He is suffering from compensated liver cirrhosis (Child A), recurrent pancreatitis, hypertension, coronary artery disease (acute MI with coronary stent), asthma, and personality disorder/depression. Despite possible QT prolongation by chlorpromazine/trazodone and rilpivirine, cQT was <450 ms in the follow up. In addition, the patient showed sustained virological suppression despite continued use of pantoprazole/rilpivirine (RPV Ctrough 55 ng/mL; reference 67±30 ng/ml).
