Plasmodium vivax associated severe malaria complications among children in some malaria endemic areas of Ethiopia
BACKGROUND Although, Plasmodium vivax is a rare parasite in most parts of Africa, it has significant public health importance in Ethiopia. In some parts of the country, it is responsible for majority of malaria associated morbidity. Recently severe life threatening malaria syndromes, frequently associated to P. falciparum, has been reported from P. vivax mono-infections. This prompted designing...
متن کاملRapid Diagnostic Testing for Plasmodium vivax and Nonfalciparum Malaria in Endemic Areas.
CLINICAL QUESTION How sensitive and specific are rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for diagnosing Plasmodium vivax and nonfalciparum malaria in endemic areas? BOTTOM LINE Vivax-specific RDTs were highly sensitive and specific when compared with microscopy (the gold standard) for detecting P vivax malaria. RDTs that can only distinguish Plasmodium falciparum from nonfalciparum malaria were less se...

متن کاملPopulation Genetics of Plasmodium vivax in Four High Malaria Endemic Areas in Thailand
Recent trends of malaria in Thailand illustrate an increasing proportion of Plasmodium vivax, indicating the importance of P. vivax as a major causative agent of malaria. P. vivax malaria is usually considered a benign disease so the knowledge of this parasite has been limited, especially the genetic diversity and genetic structure of isolates from different endemic areas. The aim of this study...
متن کاملWe need to talk more about transfusion-transmitted malaria in Plasmodium vivax endemic areas☆
alaria is the most widespread and relevant parasitic disease orldwide; it is primarily transmitted by bites of Anopheles sp., ut can also be transmitted congenitally or through infected lood transfusions. The major species infecting humans are lasmodium falciparum and P. vivax. Even considering that both pecies lead to severe disease, the first has been traditionally ssociated to more deaths, m...
