Dolutegravir, an integrase strand-transfer inhibitor (STI), shows a high genetic barrier to resistance. Dolutegravir is reported to be effective against viruses resistant to raltegravir and elvitegravir. In this study, we report the case of a patient treated with dolutegravir monotherapy. Failure of dolutegravir treatment was observed concomitant with the appearance of N155H-K211R-E212T mutations in the integrase (IN) gene in addition to the polymorphic K156N mutation that was present at baseline in this patient.
