Even though most of the chemokines were present at similar levels in samples from dengue infected and HIV plus dengue coinfected patients, the platelet-derived chemokines PF4/CXCL4 and RANTES/CCL5 were reduced in patients coinfected with HIV when compared to patients infected with DENV only (Fig. 3A,B). The gene discussed is CCL5; the disease is dengue disease.
