The prevalence of HLA-B*57 serotype associated with hypersensitivity reactions in the treatment of HIV infection in the Turkish population

CONCLUSION: Considering these results, it can be assumed that the prevalence of HLA-B*57:01 in Turkey is lower than 3.3%. Instead of a high-resolution HLA-B*57:01 scan in all patients starting abacavir therapy, a high-resolution HLA-B*57:01 scan might be of greater benefit in patients who are positive on a low-resolution HLA-B*57 scan.PMID:37526185 | DOI:10.2174/1570162X21666230731145350
