Clinical and biological features of complicated and asymptomatic malaria among PLHIV and HIV-negative adults: An observational study in Libreville, Gabon
Compared to HIV negative, asymptomatic malaria was less frequent while severe malaria predominantly affects PLHIV with advanced immunosuppression, highlighting the importance of early detection and management of co-infection to reduce morbidity. Further studies are needed to investigate the neurological manifestations and the impact of prophylactic strategies in Libreville.
