(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, ...
Polymorphic Variability in the Interleukin (IL)-1Beta Promoter Conditions Susceptibility to Severe Malarial Anemia and Functional Changes in IL-1Beta Production
(PubMed, 2012)
Interleukin (IL)-1beta is a cytokine released as part of the innate immune response to
Plasmodium falciparum. Because the role played by IL-1beta polymorphic variability in
conditioning the immunopathogenesis of severe ...
