Abstract

Synergy between HIV and malaria is being increasingly recognized. We examined the antimalarial activity of sera from subjects receiving chloroquine, no drugs or HAART. Sera from subjects taking ritonavir-boosted saquinavir or lopinavir significantly inhibited parasite growth (median of 55 and 69% inhibition, respectively). These results indicate that patients on protease inhibitors may be afforded some protection from malaria. The clinical relevance of these observations will require confirmation in controlled studies in malaria-endemic regions.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 October 2011.
All research outputs
#17,285,036
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from AIDS
#5,167
of 6,479 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#80,225
of 91,412 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS
#42
of 45 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,479 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.9. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 91,412 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 45 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
