Abstract
We report the case of an HIV-infected woman, who presented with chronic and productive cough without sign of hypersensitivity (fever, cutaneous eruption, gastrointestinal disorders), while taking abacavir. All complementary exams being negative, the involvement of abacavir has been suspected. So the drug was stopped leading to a rapid disappearance of cough. It is the first report of chronic cough with abacavir apart of a context of hypersensitivity reaction.
