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 کاملAn analysis of haematological parameters in patients and individual residents of a Plasmodium falciparum malaria holoendemic area of western Kenya.
Many clinical symptoms of malaria are associated with alterations in certain haematological parameters during acute and subclinical infections. Total leucocyte and erythrocyte counts, haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit and other minor indices, were investigated in five cohort groups of individuals resident in a malaria hyperendemic area of western Kenya. The groups included age- and sex-mat...
متن کاملImpact of Acute Malaria on Some Haematological Parameters in A Semi-Urban Community in Southwestern Nigeria
Malarial parasites are expected to induce haematological alterations but reports on changes in haematological parameters during malaria among adults in Southwest Nigeria are not well documented. To investigate the effect of acute malaria on some haematological indices, a sample of 5 ml of venous blood was drawn from each of 671 adults with acute malarial infection and 523 apparently healthy sub...
متن کاملHaematological changes in falciparum malaria and tumor necrosis factor.
Tumor necrosis factor and various haematological parameters were studied in 90 patients suffering from falciparum malaria. They were divided into three groups on the basis of haemoglobin level. The difference in haemoglobin level between group-1 (Hb < 7 gm/dl) and group-2 (Hb 7-10 gm/dl), as well as group-1 and group-3 was statistically significant. The geometric mean TNF alpha concentrations i...
