Acute Efavirenz Intoxication in a 16-year-old HIV Negative Girl: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract We present an acute intoxication with 12 grams of efavirenz (EFV) in a 16-year-old healthy girl whose main problem was neurotoxicity which is dose-dependent. No other serious EFV-related side effects were seen. Previous serious side effects of EFV were observed in HIV-infected patients who underwent long-term combination drug therapy.
