Abstract

Abacavir is a potential option for prophylaxis and early treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but no data are available in neonates. Ten neonates administered a single abacavir dose of 8 mg/kg before 15 days of life had substantially higher exposures than those reported in infants and children, with no reported adverse events.
