CXCL10highTNFαhighKi67+ Microglia Recruit and Activate CD8+ T Cells in the Brainstem During Experimental Cerebral Malaria [PDF]
Microglia exhibit distinct transcriptional and morphological heterogeneity in experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) compared to physiological microglia. A unique subtype of ECM‐associated microglia, characterized by CXCL10highTNFαhighKi67+, mediates the recruitment and sustained activation of CD8+ T cells through ongoing interactions, exacerbating ...

Surviving cerebral malaria [PDF]
A 48-year-old man from Minnesota declined malaria prophylaxis before hunting in South Africa. Ten days after his return, he developed body aches, confusion progressing to flaccid unresponsiveness, acute liver and renal failure, shock, and thrombocytopenia. On blood smear, Plasmodium falciparum burden was 24% and fell rapidly after aggressive management.

Malaria remains of significant public health concern under the tropics, causing millions of deaths annually. The disease is caused by protozoans of the Plasmodium genus, of which harbors several distinct species. Human infection occurs during the blood meal of an infected female mosquito belonging to the Anopheles genus.
