Chemoresistance in falciparum malaria

Trends in Parasitology, 2003
Tropical countries increasingly face the burden of drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum infections. Malaria-related mortality of African children rises in contrast to the decline of the overall mortality of children under five years of age in sub-Saharan Africa within the past four decades.

Gametocytemia in Falciparum Malaria

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971
To the Editor.— We have always recognized the difference in treatment of the asexual and sexual forms of malaria. People forget that the asexual forms of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites have a 48-hour cycle as compared to a ten-day or two-week cycle for gametocytes.

Falciparum malaria in pregnancy

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2007
Malaria in pregnancy is one of the major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide and leads to poor birth outcomes. Chloroquin is widely used but falciparum resistance to this antimalarial agent and late presentation translate into persisting morbidity and mortality.

DOXYCYCLINE PROPHYLAXIS FOR FALCIPARUM MALARIA

The Lancet, 1987
188 schoolchildren aged 10-15 living in a malaria endemic area along the Thai-Burmese border were matched for age, splenomegaly, and weight and were then randomly assigned to receive either doxycycline (adult equivalent of 100 mg daily) or chloroquine (adult equivalent of 300 mg base weekly).

Ultrastructure of the Lung in Falciparum Malaria

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1985
We describe a case of fatal falciparum malaria, with severe pulmonary insufficiency in the absence of fluid overload or cardiac failure. At autopsy the most striking change was a marked pulmonary interstitial edema. The endothelial cell was the most altered structure, showing marked cytoplasmic swelling which narrowed the capillary lumen.

Hypoglycaemia in severe falciparum malaria

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1988
The incidence of hypoglycaemia and the role of quinine in its causation was assessed in 46 patients with severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Plasma glucose and immunoreactive insulin were estimated before, during and after quinine therapy. In 5 patients the plasma glucose was in the hypoglycaemic range, the lowest value being 0.67 mmol/litre (12 mg ...

FALCIPARUM MALARIA

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1944
Prior to and since the entry of the United States into the present war, a large number of American civilians have been employed in construction and other occupations in tropical areas where falciparum malaria is endemic or hyperendemic. Already a number of these persons have returned to this country. Some give a history of having had recognized malaria

The treatment of severe falciparum malaria

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1977
In severe falciparum malaria there is a pathophysiological cascade beginning with changes in the parasitized red blood cells which induce intermediate effects, in turn contributing to dysfunction of several organs. A low serum albumin is a common but often unrecognized finding which may contribute to oedema especially in the lung and brain.
