Reduced Systemic Bicyclo-Prostaglandin-E2 and Cyclooxygenase-2 Gene Expression are Associated with Inefficient Erythropoiesis and Enhanced Uptake of Monocytic Hemozoin in Children with Severe Malarial Anemia
(Pub Med Central, 2012-08)
In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas, severe malaria primarily occurs in children <48 mos. and manifests as severe malarial anemia [SMA; hemoglobin (Hb)<6.0 g/dL]. Induction of high levels of prostaglandin-E2 ...
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 ...
(−7402 T/G and -4729G/A) condition susceptibility to pediatric severe malarial anemia but not circulating IL-13 levels
(Bio Med Central, 2013)
In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas such as western Kenya, severe malarial anemia [SMA, hemoglobin (Hb) < 6.0 g/dL, with any density parasitemia] is the most common clinical manifestation of severe ...
