Interestingly, patients with serum Th1 cytokine profile present inversely proportional parasitaemia to the increase in the number of Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cells while patients with serum Th2 cytokine profile present directly proportional parasitaemia [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Presenting symptoms usually include fever or a recent history of fever. [journal.pulmccm.org]

  RESULTS: A weak but significant correlation was found between patient blood gametocytaemia/parasitaemia and mosquito oocyst load. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  To the best of our knowledge, this is the first large-scale study to evaluate recurrent P. vivax infections using whole genome sequencing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In 61% of the Thai and Burmese patients and in 55% of the Indian patients, the recurrent infections contained none of the parasite genotypes that caused the acute infection. Conclusions. [academic.oup.com]

  […] rapid recurrence of infection was observed during follow-up—most likely due to relapses. [elifesciences.org]

• Intermittent Fever

  Case Report A 43-year-old male, resident of eastern India, arrived at the hospital emergency room with complaints of high grade, intermittent fever associated with chills and rigors during seven days. [scielo.br]

  According to historical accounts, intermittent fever conditions with the hallmarks of severe malaria—thus likely associated to P. falciparum— spread to India about 3,000 y ago and reached Greece maybe 500 y later. [pnas.org]

• Respiratory Distress

  Severe anaemia and respiratory distress occur at all ages, although severe anaemia is particularly common in young children. [severemalaria.org]

• Dyspnea

  Two days later, he went back to the hospital with abdominal pain, dyspnea, dry cough, pallor, oliguria and fever. Using a portable ultrasound, he was diagnosed of rupture of the spleen, which was removed by emergency surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The clinical condition of the patient—severe dyspnea—worsened, the oxygen saturation remained at 89%, and the radiological picture was consistent with an ARDS ( Figure 1 ); the patient was therefore transferred to the intensive care unit for respiratory [doi.org]

• Overeating

  Generalized estimating equations were performed to determine gene influences on parasitemia and/or gametocytemia clearance over treatment time. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Diarrhea

  Vivax malaria causes symptoms of recurrent fever and chills, headache, weakness, vomiting and diarrhea. While vivax malaria rarely causes death, its symptoms have a negative social and economic impact. [koreatimes.co.kr]

  After taking clarithromycin 500 mg orally twice daily for five days, he presented to the emergency department with complaints of ongoing fever, increasing weakness, dizziness, nausea and diarrhea. [journal.pulmccm.org]

• Hypertension

  There was no evidence of portal hypertension. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was done subsequently which was suggestive of hemorrhagic gastritis. No actively bleeding lesions were noted. [atmph.org]

  Absence of other co-morbidities like pneumonia, enteric fever, varicella-zoster virus, diabetes, hypertension etc. was also confirmed. Lumbar puncture and CT scans were performed without any pathological findings. [alliedacademies.org]

  It is more noticeable in areas of unstable transmission where older adults suffering from chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or cirrhosis are more prone to develop malarial disease [60]. [journals.plos.org]

• Skin Rash

As pain abdomen in such patients can rarely be either due to gastrointestinal haemorrhage [ 13 ] or acute pancreatitis, a meticulous clinical workup can be life saving. Conflicting Interest The authors had no conflicts of interest. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

A sepsis workup was performed including blood- and urine culture, and a microscopic examination of the urine sediment. Because of maternal malaria infection, malaria screening of the neonate was included. [pediatric-infectious-disease.imedpub.com]

SLCO1A2 and SLCO1B1 gene treatment over time interactions were associated with gametocytemia clearance rate (p FDR = 0.018 and p FDR = 0.024). ABCB1, ABCC4 and SLCO1B3 were not associated with treatment response. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
