Risk Factors for Measles in HIV-infected Children and Adolescents in Botswana. Issue 10 (October 2015) - Wirth, Kathleen E.
Abstract We conducted a matched case-control study of 566 HIV-infected children in Botswana during a 2009–2010 measles outbreak to identify the risk factors for measles. Children in the oldest age quartile (≥13.1 years) were 4-fold more likely to acquire measles than those in the youngest quartile (<7.1 years). HIV-infected older children and adolescents may benefit from additional measles vaccination.
