20242 citationsOpen accessUniversity of the Witwatersrand

Abstract

Persistently high IL-6 during pregnancy was associated with PTD. Although protease inhibitor-based ART was associated with increases in inflammation, factors other than inflammation likely explain the increased PTD in ART-based regimens compared with zidovudine alone.
