Lipodystrophy in patients with HIV-infection has been studied intensively to understand its epidemiology and pathophysiology. Recently its development was attributed to a dysregulation of TNF-alpha synthesis' homeostasis by HAART. A few years ago it was found that pentoxifylline decreases TNF-alpha production. We describe one HIV-infected patient, with lipodystrophy syndrome, treated with pentoxifylline without any improvement of lipodystrophic symptoms.

Abstract
Lipodystrophy in patients with HIV-infection has been studied intensively to understand its epidemiology and pathophysiology. Recently its development was attributed to a dysregulation of TNF-alpha synthesis' homeostasis by HAART. A few years ago it was found that pentoxifylline decreases TNF-alpha production. We describe one HIV-infected patient, with lipodystrophy syndrome, treated with pentoxifylline without any improvement of lipodystrophic symptoms.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
