Abstrakt: Setting: Distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) may manifest in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected individuals before or after antiretroviral therapy (ART). DSP can also occur in response to isoniazid (INH); this can be prevented by pyridoxine supplementation. N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) polymorphisms influence drug acetylation and possibly the risk for INH-associated DSP.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between previous/current TB, pyridoxine deficiency and DSP in HIV-infected individuals enrolled in a government-sponsored HIV programme.
Design: Neuropathy assessments were performed among 159 adults pre-ART and 12 and 24 weeks thereafter. DSP was defined as ⩾1 neuropathic symptom and sign. NAT2 genotypes predicted acetylation phenotype. Serum pyridoxine levels (PLP) were quantified at baseline and week 12.
Results: DSP was present in 16% of individuals pre-ART and was associated with previous/current TB (P = 0.020). Over 50% were pyridoxine deficient (PLP < 25 nmol/l), despite supplementation with vitamin B complex supplements (2-4 mg/day pyridoxine). Those with a history of TB and pre-ART DSP were more likely to be pyridoxine deficient (P = 0.029), and slow/intermediate NAT2 phenotypes impacted on their PLP levels. Incident/worsening DSP after ART developed in 21% of the participants. PLP levels remained low after ART, particularly among those with prior TB, but without an association between DSP or NAT2 phenotypes.
Conclusion: Adequate pyridoxine supplementation before ART initiation should be prioritised, particularly in those with a history of TB or current TB.
