anti malaria agents including chloroquine and hydroxichloroquine are commonly used for rheumatic diseases e.g. systemic erythematous lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. one of the most important systemic side effects of these agents is ocular side effects (chloroquine toxicity retinopathy). regarding to importance of early detection of this toxicity, the patients who take these drugs should be evalu...

ahaptoglobinemia is a common phenomenon in tropical countries,where it is probably due to malaria-induced haemolysis. previous studies have suggested that ahaptoglobinemia is more useful than the other parasite detection indexes to estimate the endemicity of malaria. the present study shows the relationship between malaria and haptoglobin, as a genetic marker in balouch population of sistan & b...

Malaria-induced hypoglycemia is recognized as a serious complication of malaria and has one the strongest associations with mortality in children. It been speculated that oxidative stress pro-inflammatory response during parasite infection were involved its pathophysiology. Hence, this study aimed to investigate development malaria-induced Plasmodium berghei ANKA (PbANKA) particular attention i...

Abstract Background Simultaneous increase in transaminases and bilirubin is an indicator of hepatic dysfunction malaria. Malaria-induced hyperbilirubinemia has been associated with acute kidney injury pathogenesis cerebral malaria which are significantly mortality infection. This retrospective study was designed to assess the lipid profile, hematological, renal function data patients Sir Yahaya...

Malaria remains a health and economic burden, particularly in marginalized populations worldwide. The current strategies for combating malaria rely on eliminating the mosquito vector, using insecticide-treated nets, other management policies or through administration of small molecule drugs to perturb intra-erythrocytic development parasite. However, resistance against commonly used such as art...
