Plasmodium Vivax Infection Impersonating Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria Plasmodium Falciparum Sıtmayı Taklit Eden Plasmodium Vivax Enfeksiyonu
A 73-year-old woman came to the casualty ward with symptoms of syncopal attacks, weakness, fever with chills and rigors. A provisional diagnosis of Plasmodium vivax malaria was made after the blood investigations. She had deranged renal function tests, altered sensorium and low platelet count. Repeated tests for P. falciparum (Card test) were negative. Glucose-6-Phosphate dehydrogenise (G6PD) l...
متن کاملImpact of enhanced malaria control on the competition between Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax in India.
The primary focus of malaria research and control has been on Plasmodium falciparum, the most severe of the four Plasmodium species causing human disease. However, the presence of both P. falciparum and Plasmodium vivax occurs in several countries, including India. We developed a mathematical model describing the dynamics of P. vivax and P. falciparum in the human and mosquito populations and f...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Plasmodium vivax Malaria in India
Historically, malaria in India was predominantly caused by Plasmodium vivax, accounting for 53% of the estimated cases. After the spread of drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum in the 1990s, the prevalence of the two species remained equivalent at the national level for a decade. By 2014, the proportion of P. vivax has decreased to 34% nationally, but with high regional variation. In 2014, P. v...
متن کاملMolecular Evidence on Changing Pattern of Mixed Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax Infections during Year-Round Transmission of Malaria in Chahbahar, Iran
Mixed malaria infections, Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax, are suspected to occur at a greater frequency than is detected by conventional light microscopy. In order to determine the year round pattern of transmission and the frequency of mixed infections in malaria endemic area, we carried out a prospective comparison of diagnosis by conventional light microscopy and nested PCR in Chahbahar ...
متن کاملComparative Study of Free Radical Activity in Plasmodium Falciparum and Plasmodium Vivax Malaria Patients
The present study was undertaken to study the free radical activity in malaria patients suffering from plasmodium falciparum (n=14) and plasmodium vivax (n=21) against the healthy control subjects (n=25). Lipid peroxidation was assessed by measuring serum lipid peroxide in both groups of malaria patients by using Malondialdehyde as standard. The serum Ceruloplasmin is also studied along with se...
