Association of Fcγ receptor IIA (CD32) polymorphism with malarial anemia and high-density parasitemia in infants and young children
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006)
Protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum is partially mediated through binding of malaria-specific IgG antibodies to Fcγ receptors. Polymorphic variability in Fcγ RIIa (H/R-131) is associated with differential ...
Suppression of RANTES in children with Plasmodium falciparum malaria
(Haematologica, 2006)
Severe malarial anemia (MA) is the primary manifestation of severe malaria among
children in areas of holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission. Although overproduction of inflammatory-derived cytokines are implicated ...
A macrophage migration inhibitory factor promoter polymorphism is associated with high-density parasitemia in children with malaria
(Nature Publishing Group, 2006)
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates innate and adaptive immune responses to bacterial and parasitic infections. Functional promoter variants in the MIF gene influence ...
Parasitemia, anemia, and malarial anemia in infants and young children in a rural holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission area
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006)
Malarial anemia (MA) is a multifactorial disease for which the complex etiological basis is only partially
defined. The association of clinical, nutritional, demographic, and socioeconomic factors with parasitemia, anemia, ...
Suppression of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Children with Severe Malarial Anemia: Role of Monocyte-acquired Hemozoin
(American Society for Microbiology Journals, 2006)
Severe malarial anemia (SMA), caused by Plasmodium falciparum infections, is one of the
leading causes of childhood mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the molecular
determinants of SMA are largely undefined, ...
