Platelet activation in patients with dengue infection or HIV plus dengue coinfection: Activation was assessed at the febrile, defervescence and recovery phases of dengue illness in freshly isolated platelets from patients with dengue only or coinfected with HIV and dengue (HIV + dengue). (A) The percentage of platelets with P-selectin (CD62P) surface expression in each condition; and (B) the fluorescence of the probe DAF-FM diacetate indicating NO synthesis by platelets. The horizontal lines in the box plots represent the median, the box edges represent the interquartile ranges and the whiskers indicate 5–95 percentile. *Signifies p < 0.05 compared to patients with the same profile of infection (dengue or HIV + dengue) at the recovery. #Means p < 0.05 between dengue and HIV + dengue infected patients.
