Maraviroc is the first licensed chemokine co-receptor 5 (CCR5) co-receptor antagonist in clinical practice. It is currently being used in patients harbouring exclusively CCR5-tropic virus. The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of maraviroc on viruses with different co-receptor preferences in a patient with a dual/mixed (D/M) infection.
