Abstract
Steroidal side effects such as "buffalo hump" and visceral abdominal fat accumulation have been reported in association with protease inhibitors. We report two cases of severe disfiguring striae formation in patients with HIV who recently started indinavir therapy. These changes occurred within 3 months of starting treatment.
