Popis: AIM To assess the prevalence of pretreatment drug resistance (PDR) and its association with virologic outcomes after 24 weeks of antiretroviral therapy (ART), within an urban cohort of Ugandan children. METHODS Prospective observational study. Baseline and 24-week assessments of viral load (VL) and genotypic drug resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) were performed. RESULTS Ninety-nine ART-naive children (3-12 years) initiated efavirenz-based ART 2015-2016 and 18/90 (20%) had baseline NRTI/NNRTI associated drug resistance mutations (DRMs). By 24 weeks, 72/93 (77%) children had VL
