摘要
We report a case of hypercholesterolemia that occurred 2 weeks after the start of highly active antiretroviral therapy following a needlestick exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in an HIV-negative health care worker who was receiving thyroid replacement therapy. The elevated thyrotropic hormone level and hypercholesterolemia resolved after the antiretroviral therapy was stopped.
