Erythrocyte Membrane Makeover by Plasmodium falciparum Gametocytes

Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1

Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) is a family of proteins present on the membrane surface of red blood cells (RBCs or erythrocytes) that are infected by the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum. PfEMP1 is synthesized during the parasite's blood stage (erythrocytic schizogony) inside the RBC, during which the clinical symptoms of falciparum malaria are manifested. ...

A 50-year-old woman presented with fever for 1 week, with mild splenomegaly and anemia. Hematological examination showed pancytopenia, but peripheral blood smear examination showed no evidence of parasite. Because of pan-cytopenia, the patient was subjected ...
