Rheumatological complications associated with the use of indinavir and other protease inhibitors
Abstract
Several cases are reported of rheumatological pathology (temporomandibular dysfunction, frozen shoulder, Dupuytren's disease, and tendinitis) most probably related to the intake of indinavir in HIV positive patients. A survey using an anonymous questionnaire of 878 people with HIV infection treated with antiretroviral drugs suggests that other protease inhibitors may also cause arthralgia.
