Resistance mutation below
What is the virus?
Which drug does it confer resistance to?
T409M
M460V
CMV
T409M (codes for UL97) – Maribavir

UL23 - thymidine kinase
TKneg
TKpartial
TKaltered
UL30 - DNA polymerase
What is the most important blood test for someone on Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate?
Bone profile
Renal function
Hypophosphatemia would recommend switch to Tenfovir alafenamide
l
In which cases would you recommend switching from Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate to Tenofovir alafenamide?
Renal dysfunction
Hypophosphataemia

>65 with risk of osteoporosis
Neonate treated for encephalitis with IV aciclovir 20mg/kg TDS
What do you do when stopping treatment?
Repeat LP - if negative, stop treatment
suppressive aciclovir for 12 months, to prevent a reactivation - improved neurological outcomes
