1Abstract: These results suggest that ""vertically transmitted"" primary
RTI-resistance mutations,
K103N and
Y181C, can persist over the years even in the absence of drug pressure and impact
RTI treatment negatively, and that appearing patterns of
RTI-resistance mutations among non-subtype B
HIV
Abstract: Before treatment, 4 of 12 (33.3%) children had primary
RTI-resistance mutations,
K103N (n = 3, ages 5-7 years) and
Y181C (n = 1, age 1 year).
