Nevirapine-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) is one of the limited options in HIV-infected children younger than 3 years old (young children) with tuberculosis (TB) coinfection. To date, there are insufficient data to recommend nevirapine-based therapy during first-line antituberculosis (anti-TB) therapy in young children. We compared nevirapine pharmacokinetics (PK) in HIV-infected young children with and without TB coinfection.
