Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy secondary to indinavir-induced hypertensive crisis: A case report

2002

Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) is an uncommon entity related to multiple and different pathologies, the most common being hypertensive crisis. It is believed to be secondary to the breakdown on the blood-brain barrier. At the beginning, it is undistinguishable from other leukoencephalopathies. However, the disappearance of brain lesions after removal of the potential cause, establish the differential diagnosis with other leukoencephalopathies. We present the case of an HIV-infected patient with a RPLS related to a hypertensive crisis short after the initiation of indinavir-containing highly active antiretroviral therapy. Once blood pressure was controlled and indin…

2007

To perform a systematic review of the antihypertensive activity of the angiotensin II AT1 receptor antagonists (ARB).Studies in which blood pressure (BP) was measured using ambulatory BP monitoring for at least 24 h were collected from MEDLINE. Data for each treatment group, ARB, placebo or the drug used for its comparison were obtained from the selected studies. Only studies with a minimum of quality criteria were selected. The final study group contained 36 publications, with a total of 47 patient cohorts receiving ARB in monotherapy, 10 with placebo, 10 with amlodipine, and five with enalapril. The reduction in clinical and ambulatory BP during 24 h, day, night and the last 4-h period fo…
