Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Internal medicine
  • Virus

Philippe Van de Perre mostly deals with Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Immunology, Pediatrics, Breast feeding and Psychological intervention. His work deals with themes such as Odds ratio, Epidemiology, Cohort study, Obstetrics and Risk factor, which intersect with Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. His Immunology research includes themes of Internal medicine, Sexual partner, Sexually transmitted disease and Virology.

Philippe Van de Perre is interested in Breastfeeding, which is a branch of Pediatrics. His Breast feeding research includes elements of Epitope, Lactation, Weaning and Immunity. His work in the fields of Psychological intervention, such as Cluster randomised controlled trial, overlaps with other areas such as European union.

His most cited work include:

  • 6-month efficacy, tolerance, and acceptability of a short regimen of oral zidovudine to reduce vertical transmission of HIV in breastfed children in Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso: a double-blind placebo-controlled multicentre trial (442 citations)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Virology, Breastfeeding, Internal medicine, Virus and Transmission. His Breastfeeding research integrates issues from Viral load, Breast feeding, Lamivudine, Obstetrics and Pandemic. The study incorporates disciplines such as Systematic review, Randomized controlled trial, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and Family medicine in addition to Viral load.

His Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gastroenterology and Serology. His Virus research is included under the broader classification of Immunology. His research in Transmission tackles topics such as Public health which are related to areas like Cohort.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global and regional molecular epidemiology of HIV-1, 1990–2015: a systematic review, global survey, and trend analysis (86 citations)
  • Human Usutu Virus Infection with Atypical Neurologic Presentation, Montpellier, France, 2016. (52 citations)
  • Breastmilk cell trafficking induces microchimerism‐mediated immune system maturation in the infant (34 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Virus

Philippe Van de Perre focuses on Virology, Hepatitis B, Breastfeeding, Immunology and Inflammation. His Hepatitis B research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Epidemiology, Hepatitis C virus, Hepatitis D, Hepatitis C and Genotyping. His research in Breastfeeding intersects with topics in Transmission, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Viral load and Intensive care medicine.

The Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome study combines topics in areas such as Developed country and Pediatrics. His Viral load research focuses on Lopinavir/ritonavir and how it relates to Lamivudine. The study of Immunology is intertwined with the study of Hiv transmission in a number of ways.
