Cerebral malaria and immunogenetics
Parasite Immunology, 2000Cerebral malaria depends largely on the capacity of Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells to adhere to the endothelia of microvessels, leading to their occlusion. The most important players include receptors expressed on the surface of the endothelial cell and known to interact with the parasite, cytokines modulating the expression of these ...

Malaria, the most significant parasitic disease of man, kills approximately one million people per year. Half of these deaths occur in those with cerebral malaria (CM). The World Health Organization (WHO) defines CM as an otherwise unexplained coma in a patient with malarial parasitemia.

CNS Drugs, 2003
Cerebral malaria is one of the most common nontraumatic encephalopathies in the world. Children living in sub-Saharan Africa bear the brunt of the disease, but cerebral malaria is being seen increasingly in adults throughout the world, including outside malarious areas.

Archives of Neurology, 1978
Neuropathologic examination of 19 fatal cases of cerebral malaria and a review of the literature showed that the epidemiologic, clinical, and pathologic features of this entity suggest consideration of cerebral malaria as a form of disseminated vasculomyelinopathy, a hyperegic reaction of the CNS to the antigenic challenge of Plasmodium falciparum ...

Bacteraemia in cerebral malaria
Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, 1998As part of a treatment trial of cerebral malaria, blood cultures were done in 276 Gambian children, aged between 1 and 9 years, with cerebral malaria. Fourteen (5%) of these were positive. The organisms isolated were Staphylococcus aureus (6), coliforms (4), Pseudomonas spp. (2), Salmonella spp. (1) and Streptococcus spp. (1).

Immunopathogenesis of cerebral malaria
International Journal for Parasitology, 2006Malaria is one of the most important global health problems, potentially affecting more than one third of the world's population. Cerebral malaria (CM) is a deadly complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection, yet its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood.

Epilepsia, 2008
SummaryMalaria, one of the most common parasitic diseases worldwide, is responsible for more than one million deaths among African children every year. Its neurological form, known as cerebral malaria (CM) is a potential cause of epilepsy in malaria‐endemic regions of the world, primarily made up for the most part by the sub‐Saharan Africa.

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1986
Presented here is our experience with 30 cases of cerebral malaria. The diagnosis in all of them was based on a positive smear report. Plasmodium falciparum accounted for 26 cases while P. vivax was responsible for cerebral malaria in the remaining 4. There were 21 males and 9 females.

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1995
A retrospective chart review for the 1993 calendar year identified 187 children with cerebral malaria admitted to a large teaching hospital in central Ghana, West Africa. The most common clinical presentation was fever, sensorial depression and convulsions in young children experiencing their first episode of malaria.

ExperimentalModels of Cerebral Malaria
2005Malaria remains a major global health problem and cerebral malaria is one of the most serious complications of this disease. Recent years have seen important advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of cerebral malaria. Extensive analysis of tissues and blood taken from patients with cerebral malaria has been complimented by the use of animal ...
