DOI: 10.1093/jtm/taab043
Abstract: We report an atypical case of recrudescence of Plasmodium falciparum in a migrant with 4% parasitemia, 7 years after leaving endemic country. This case supports the hypothesis of recrudescence of a latent and persistent sub-microscopic parasitemia,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bmjgh-2019-edc.56
Abstract: Background Immune system response to Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) malaria infection outlines the disease course and outcome. This is attributed to variable production of cytokines that either promote (pro-inflammatory) or curtail (anti-inflammatory) the inflammatory process.… read more here.
