Association between Fcγ receptor IIA, IIIA and IIIB genetic polymorphisms and susceptibility to severe malaria anemia in children in western Kenya.
(BMC infectious diseases, 2017-04)
BACKGROUND:
Naturally-acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria develops after several episodes of infection. Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) bind to immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and mediate phagocytosis of ...
Suppressed circulating bicyclo-PGE2 levels and leukocyte COX-2 transcripts in children co-infected with P. falciparum malaria and HIV-1 or bacteremia.
(Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 2013)
In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission regions, malarial anemia is a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. Identifying biomarkers of malaria disease severity is important for identifying at-risk ...
Functional promoter haplotypes of interleukin-18 condition susceptibility to severe malarial anemia and childhood mortality.
(PubMed, 2012)
Severe malarial anemia (SMA) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children
residing in regions where plasmodium falciparum transmission is holoendemic. Although
largely unexplored in children with SMA, ...
