Bacteremia in Kenyan children presenting with malaria
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-02-01)
Since the etiologies and clinical outcomes of bacteremia in children with
Plasmodium falciparum infections, particularly in areas of holoendemic malaria
transmission, are largely unexplored, blood cultures and comprehensive ...
Polymorphic Variability in the 3'Untranslated Region (UTR) of IL12B is associated with Susceptibility to Severe Anaemia in Kenyan Children with Acute Plasmodium...
(BioMed Central, 2005)
Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and
mortality among African children. Innate immunity provides the first line of defence against P.
falciparum infections, particularly in young children ...
Parasitemia, anemia, and malarial anemia in infants and young children in a rural holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission area.
(American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2005)
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, ...
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 ...
