Funded Activity Summary

Cerebral malaria (CM) is a life-threatening complication of infection caused by parasites. The mechanisms leading to coma, convulsions and death in CM remain unknown. CM in children is associated with high levels of endothelial microparticles (MP). However, not only the levels but also the phenotypes of MP can be altered in CM as well as their related functional properties. The project aims to develop a better definition of the MP released during CM and to study MP phenotypes in relation to clinical syndrome, disease severity and disease outcome.
