Severe symptomatic hyperlactataemia and lactic acidosis (SHLA) are life-threatening events that are occurring at increasing incidence levels in South Africa. Globally, the rise in SHLA cases is closely correlated to the increased accessibility of anti retroviral (ARV) medication for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although hyperlactataemia and lactic acidosis were once thought of as rare conditions, they are now being recognized as important concerns when administering antiretroviral therapy. A better understanding of the risk factors for SHLA is important in combating the morbidity and mortality associated with such an adverse event. 2014-09-12T07:06:15Z 2014-09-12T07:06:15Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MPH http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7438 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town
