Background and Objectives: Medicinal plants constitute the major source of malaria treatment in a different region Burkina Faso, present study was carried out to determine potentially anti-malaria Bobo Dioulasso assess preliminary investigations on possible pharmacological applications others than properties assessed by traditional health practitioners. Materials Methods: Open-ended structured ...

IntroductionAccurate diagnosis of chikungunya (CHIK) is essential for effective disease management and surveillance. In a cohort febrile Congolese patients, available diagnostic methods widely used in CHIK were evaluated. addition, plasma cytokines quantified patients those coinfected with malaria compared healthy controls.MethodsBetween June November 2019, total 107 suspected subjected to diff...

Abstract Background In falciparum malaria the total parasite biomass can be estimated by blood levels of histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2), a Plasmodium falciparum-specific protein, which has been widely studied in malaria-endemic regions. This study investigates usefulness PfHRP2 as marker for disease severity imported malaria. Methods A retrospective cohort analysis was done 145 patients with...

Malaria is still a health problem in the world, particularly in Indonesia with high morbidity and mortality rate. Increased mortality rate due to malaria has been reported and it may occur because of the raising in anti-malarial resistance. Chloroquine-resistant P. vivax and P. falciparum have been reported in almost all over the country. Various dose administrations of anti-malarial treatment,...

Antibodies against arthropod saliva have shown to be a good marker of bite exposure. Because Anopheles albimanus Wiedemann (Diptera: Culicidae) is the principal malaria vector in Haiti, we evaluated the immune response against salivary gland extract (SGE) of this species in malaria-positive and malaria-negative subjects from this country. The results showed that the level of anti-SGE immunoglob...

BACKGROUND Continuous emergence of multi-drug-resistant malaria parasites and their rapid spread across the globe warrant urgent search for new anti-malarial chemotherapeutics. Traditional medicinal plants have been the main sources for screening active phytochemicals against malaria. Accordingly, this study was aimed at evaluating the anti-malarial activity of Osyris quadripartita Salzm. Ex De...

glomerular involvement occurs as a rare form of renal manifestation in plasmodium falciparum malaria. here, we report a rare case of falciparum malaria-associated iga nephropathy. a 28-year-old man was admitted because of fever and abdominal pain. ultrasound and computed tomography (ct) showed right kidney pyonenphrosis. despite placing a nephrostomy tube, fever continued. repeated ct was in fa...

BACKGROUND Currently, intensive malaria control programs are being implemented in Africa to reduce the malaria burden. Clinical malaria data from hospitals are valuable for monitoring trends in malaria morbidity and for evaluating the impacts of these interventions. However, the reliability of hospital-based data for true malaria incidence is often questioned because of diagnosis accuracy issue...

Schoolchildren from 2 areas of Kenya, Kangundo and Kambu, have contrasting prevalences of hepatosplenomegaly, despite having similar prevalences and intensities of Schistosoma mansoni infection. However, in individual children, S. mansoni infection intensity is positively correlated with organomegaly. In a previous study, hepatosplenomegaly was associated with Th1-type anti-schistosome cytokine...
