A histological method for quantifying Plasmodium falciparum in the brain in fatal paediatric cerebral malaria [PDF]
, 2013 Background: The sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in brain microvasculature through cytoadherence to endothelium, is the hallmark of the definitive diagnosis of cerebral malaria and plays a critical role in malaria pathogenesis.

Human candidate gene polymorphisms and risk of severe malaria in children in Kilifi, Kenya: a case-control association study [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Human genetic factors are important determinants of malaria risk. We investigated associations between multiple candidate polymorphisms—many related to the structure or function of red blood cells—and risk for severe Plasmodium falciparum ...

Acta Neurológica Colombiana, 2021 La malaria sigue siendo un problema de salud pública que afecta especialmente a las regiones tropicales y los países en vía de desarrollo, y Latinoamérica es una región endémica para la enfermedad. A pesar de que se ha demostrado una disminución de los casos de malaria en general, los casos de malaria complicada se mantienen estables.

Surviving cerebral malaria [PDF]
Neurology, 2018 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.

Platelet-Induced Clumping of Plasmodium falciparum–Infected Erythrocytes from Malawian Patients with Cerebral Malaria—Possible Modulation In Vivo by Thrombocytopenia [PDF]
, 2008 Platelets may play a role in the pathogenesis of human cerebral malaria (CM), and they have been shown to induce clumping of Plasmodium falciparum–parasitized red blood cells (PRBCs) in vitro.

Brain Research Bulletin, 2019 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.
