We describe the prevalence, risk factors and outcome of hyperlactataemia (HL) in a cohort of 140 HIV-infected patients. ⋯ HL is associated with NRTI use, in particular didanosine and stavudine, and discontinuation of NRTIs seems to be associated with rapid resolution of HL. Lactic acidosis remains rare and the long-term outcome of patients with HL does not seem to be poorer than controls.
