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.

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 ...
