The Use of Crude Plasmodium falciparum Antigens for Comparison of Antibody Responses in Patients with Mild Malaria vs. Cerebral Malaria
Background: Cerebral malaria (CM) is one of the major causes of death in African populations infected with Plasmodium falciparum. Only 1% of infected subjects develop CM. The reasons for these differences are not fully understood, but it is likely that the host humoral response against blood-stage antigens plays a role in protection from malaria, although the precise targets and mechanisms medi...
متن کاملDetermining the severity of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Ethiopia.
BACKGROUND In the majority of health centers in Ethiopia, the severity of falciparum malaria has been determined by parasitemia alone. However, it has been suggested that the use of peripheral infected RBC counts as an indicator of disease severity by itself is insufficient. Therefore, this study was performed to assess the severity of falciparum malaria infection in three Ethiopian localities ...
متن کاملPlasmodium falciparum rosetting is associated with malaria severity in Kenya.
Rosette formation in 154 fresh Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Kenyan children with mild (n = 54), moderate (n = 64), or severe (n = 36) malaria was studied to determine whether the ability to form rosettes in vitro is correlated with malaria severity. There was a wide distribution of rosette frequencies within each clinical category; however, a clear trend towards higher rosette frequency ...
متن کاملSevere Plasmodium falciparum malaria Malária grave por Plasmodium falciparum
Malaria is the world’s leading parasitic disease and affects approximately 40% of the world’s population (approximately 2.4 billion people) in more than 100 countries.(1) The disease, that is caused for Plamodium spp., particularly affects populations in tropical and subtropical areas, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries. Brazil has the largest number of cases on the American ...
متن کاملThrombocytopenia in plasmodium falciparum malaria.
BACKGROUND Malaria is usually associated with reduced blood cell counts & mild to moderate thrombocytopenia is a common association of malaria. The cause of thrombocytopenia is poorly understood, but the immune-mediated lysis, sequestration in the spleen and dyspoietic processes in the marrow with diminished platelet production have all been postulated. This study was conducted to evaluate thro...
