penfluridol, a neuroleptic drug, considerably reversed halofantrine resistance in t9.96hf halofantrine resistant strain of plasmodium falicparum (originally chloroquine sensitive parasites), but not in k1hf halofantrine resistant strain (originally chloroquine resistant parasites)

Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium knowlesi are the parasites that infect humans. Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax cause most of the malarial infections worldwide. Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium knowlesi are susceptible to chloroquine. Chloroquine was the world's most widely used antim...

introduction malaria is the most important parasitic infection, which is now spread all over the globe. malaria infections with more than two species, especially plasmodium falciparum and p. vivax, are common, but infections with p. malariae and p. falciparum are rare. discussion mixed malaria infection is not uncommon, and it needs to be diagnosed and treated effectively in order to control th...

objectives: malaria is the most important tropical disease in terms of morbidity and mortality. the diagnosis of malaria can be conveniently subdivided into clinical, parasitological, biochemical, serological and molecular biological detection. the objective of the present work was to compare two techniques, blood smear and pcr-rflp, for detection of plasmodium species. materials & method...

background: electrolytes play an important role in the normal functioning of human body. electrolyte imbalance and mineral disturbances is the common clinical manifestation in several infectious diseases including malaria. malaria is a mosquito borne serious infectious disease of the world. plasmodium vivax and p. falciparum are the main agents responsible for malaria in pakistan. electrolyte i...

In 2010, there were estimated 219 million cases of malaria resulting in 666,000 deaths and two-thirds were children. Children are more vulnerable than adults to malaria parasites. In sub-Saharan African countries, maternal malaria is associated with up to 200,000 estimated infant deaths yearly. Malaria is caused by five Plasmodium parasites namely: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasm...

infection resulting from plasmodium vivax is the commonest type found in india as well as other tropical regions. the clini­cal picture is variable depending on the nature, immunity of the child, and lives in an endemic area or not. here, we report a child, who presented with cerebellar dysfunction with intact sensorium and plasmodium vivax was positive on peripheral smear.

Malaria is an infection sustained by three parasites namely: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, and Plasmodium ovale. Plasmodium falciparum is the most common and virulent parasite. These parasites are present in different areas of the sub-Saharan African countries and Asia. In 2010, there were an estimated 219 million cases of malaria resulting in 660,000 deaths and, approximately, two-t...

background: the number of malaria cases is declining worldwide; however, it remains as a serious health problem. diagnosing unusual cases is the most im­portant issue to manage the problem. this study designed to describe the number of falciparum and vivax malaria infected patients referred to malaria reference labora­tory in tehran university of medical science from 2000 to 2012. methods: a re...
