Malaria parasites were found at 53 of 146 visits in the month before viral load measurement, although at 89% of visits in which children were malaria-positive, the children's samples had <1,000 parasites/[mu]L, and in only 13% of visits in which children had parasitemia did they also have fever (8). Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Kenya Medical Research Institute found fewer HIV-infected babies born to mothers with placental malaria, although the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission was increased among mothers with high placental parasitemia. The positive levels of parasitemia ranged from 1+ to 4+, with 4+ being the highest indicator of the concentration of the parasites. |
