BACKGROUND: Poor growth is an indication for antiretroviral therapy (ART) and a criterion for treatment failure. We examined variability in growth response to ART in 12 programs in Malawi Zambia Zimbabwe Mozambique and South Africa. METHODS: Treatment naive children aged /= 1. For HAZ the corresponding range was 2.33 (95 CI: 2.62 to 2.02) to 1.27 (95 CI: 1.58 to 1.00) for baseline HAZ /= 1. CONCLUSIONS: Despite a sustained growth response and catch up growth in children with advanced HIV disease treated with ART normal weights and heights are not achieved over 3 years of ART. |
