Funded Activity Summary

The features of severe infection in children living in tropical countries may not allow differentiation between malaria and bacterial-viral causes. This can create significant problems with deciding on appropriate management. In addition, the main complications of malaria such as coma, increased acid levels in the blood and anaemia are not well understood. We plan to characterise infections in Papua New Guinean children in detail and explore mechanisms behind important malarial complications.
