Prolonged Plasmodium falciparum Infection in Immigrants, Paris
Few immigrant travelers have Plasmodium falciparum infections >2 months after leaving malaria-endemic areas. We conducted a case-control study to identify factors associated with prolonged P. falciparum infection in immigrant travelers. Results suggest that P. falciparum infection should be systematically suspected, even months after travel, especially in pregnant women and first-arrival immigr...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Natural Plasmodium falciparum Infections
BACKGROUND Natural immunity to Plasmodium falciparum has been widely studied, but its effects on parasite dynamics are poorly understood. Acquisition and clearance rates of untreated infections are key elements of the dynamics of malaria, but estimating these parameters is challenging because of frequent super-infection and imperfect detectability of parasites. Consequently, information on effe...
متن کاملGametocytemia in Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum infections.
Two expert research microscopists, each blinded to the other's reports, diagnosed single-species malaria infections in 2,141 adults presenting at outpatient malaria clinics in Tak Province, Thailand, and Iquitos, Peru, in May-August 1998, May-July 1999, and May-June 2001. Plasmodium vivax patients with gametocytemia had higher fever and higher parasitemia than those without gametocytemia; tempe...
متن کاملTheoretical analysis of mixed Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium falciparum infections with partial cross-immunity.
A deterministic model for assessing the dynamics of mixed species malaria infections in a human population is presented to investigate the effects of dual infection with Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium falciparum. Qualitative analysis of the model including positivity and boundedness is performed. In addition to the disease free equilibrium, we show that there exists a boundary equilibrium c...
متن کاملFosmidomycin-clindamycin for Plasmodium falciparum Infections in African children.
BACKGROUND Fosmidomycin is a new antimalarial drug with a novel mechanism of action. Studies in Africa that have evaluated fosmidomycin as monotherapeutic agent demonstrated its excellent tolerance, but 3-times-daily treatment regimens of >or=4 days were required to achieve radical cure, prompting further research to identify and validate a suitable combination partner to enhance its efficacy. ...
