We enrolled 176 children, of whom 170 received the study regimen: 86 received NNRTI-based ART, and 84 lopinavir–ritonavir–based ART. The incidence of ma- laria was lower among children receiving the lopinavir–ritonavir–based regimen than among those receiving the NNRTI-based regimen (1.32 vs. 2.25 episodes per person-year; incidence-rate ratio, 0.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.36 to 0.97; P = 0.04), as was the risk of a recurrence of malaria after treatment with arte- mether–lumefantrine (28.1% vs. 54.2%; hazard ratio, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.22 to 0.76; P = 0.004). The median lumefantrine level on day 7 after treatment for malaria was significantly higher in the lopinavir–ritonavir group than in the NNRTI group. In the lopinavir–ritonavir group, lumefantrine levels exceeding 300 ng per milliliter on day 7 were associated with a reduction of more than 85% in the 63-day risk of recur- rent malaria. A greater number of serious adverse events occurred in the lopinavir– ritonavir group than in the NNRTI group (5.6% vs. 2.3%, P = 0.16). Pruritus occurred significantly more frequently in the lopinavir–ritonavir group, and elevated alanine aminotransferase levels significantly more frequently in the NNRTI group. Conclusions Lopinavir–ritonavir–based ART as compared with NNRTI-based ART reduced the incidence of malaria by 41%, with the lower incidence attributable largely to a sig- nificant reduction in the recurrence of malaria after treatment with artemether– lumefantrine. Lopinavir–ritonavir–based ART was accompanied by an increase in serious adverse events.
