Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB): Is it Effective to Prevent Cerebral Malaria? [PDF]

Afro-Egyptian Journal of Infectious and Endemic Diseases
Cerebral malaria is a severe complication of plasmodium falciparum infection with 15-25% mortality rates. Sequestration of infected red blood cells disrupts the blood brain barried leading to irreversible brain damage, impacting quality of life.

Imaging features of fulminant cerebral malaria: A case report

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
Cerebral malaria is associated with high mortality and morbidity in patients infected with Plasmodium Falciparum. The mechanisms of cerebral malaria include sequestration of parasitized red blood cells in brain capillaries, production of cytokines ...

Candidate human genetic polymorphisms and severe malaria in a Tanzanian population. [PDF]

, 2012
Human genetic background strongly influences susceptibility to malaria infection and progression to severe disease and death. Classical genetic studies identified haemoglobinopathies and erythrocyte-associated polymorphisms, as protective against severe ...

Delayed gastric emptying time in adult cerebral falciparum malaria [PDF]

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2012
Objective: We hypothesize that upper gastrointestinal symptoms in cerebral malaria are due to gastric motordysfunction. But gastric motility studies in cerebral malaria are scarce.Methods: We determined gastric emptying half-time (GET½) of liquid meals ...

A functional polymorphism in the IL1B gene promoter, IL1B -31C>T, is not associated with cerebral malaria in Thailand

Malaria Journal, 2005
Background IL-1β and IL-1RA levels are higher in the serum of cerebral malaria patients than in patients with mild malaria. Recently, the level of IL1B expression was reported to be influenced by a polymorphism in the promoter of IL1, IL1B -31C>T ...
