Abstract

The article presents a study to compare two different artemisinin-based combination therapies to treat malaria and to assess the protective efficacy of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TS) prophylaxis in children exposed and infected with influenza viruses. The study, conducted in Uganda, uses multivariate analysis to estimate binomial equations associated between breastfeeding and the risk of malaria. It shows that HIV-infected mothers must be counseled on the importance of taking TS prophylaxis.
