Pituitary-adrenal function in uncomplicated falciparum malaria.
To investigate pituitary-adrenal function in acute uncomplicated falciparum malaria, we performed an overnight dexamethasone suppression test in 13 Vietnamese adults with acute malaria and 6 healthy controls. After blood samples were taken for serum cortisol and plasma ACTH at 23.00 hours on the admission day, 1 mg dexamethasone was given and further samples were taken at 08.00, 16.00 and 23.00...
متن کاملA Study Correlating the Derangement of Liver Function Tests in Vivax and Falciparum Malaria
Objectives: Malaria has been and is still the cause of human morbidity and mortality. Although,the disease has been eradicated in most temperate zones,it continues to be endemic through out the tropics and subtropics. Here we have made an attempt to study the correlation between severity of malaria infection with derangements in liver function tests and how it will help the outcome and prognosi...
متن کاملMalaria vaccines: identifying Plasmodium falciparum liver-stage targets
The development of a highly efficacious and durable vaccine for malaria remains a top priority for global health researchers. Despite the huge rise in recognition of malaria as a global health problem and the concurrent rise in funding over the past 10-15 years, malaria continues to remain a widespread burden. The evidence of increasing resistance to anti-malarial drugs and insecticides is a gr...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملThrombocytopenia in plasmodium falciparum malaria.
BACKGROUND Malaria is usually associated with reduced blood cell counts & mild to moderate thrombocytopenia is a common association of malaria. The cause of thrombocytopenia is poorly understood, but the immune-mediated lysis, sequestration in the spleen and dyspoietic processes in the marrow with diminished platelet production have all been postulated. This study was conducted to evaluate thro...
