Blood monocyte oxidative burst activity in acute P. falciparum malaria
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The release of superoxide anion from blood monocytes was studied in eight patients with acute primary attack P. falciparum malaria. Before treatment a significant enhancement of the oxidative burst prevailed, which contrasts with previous findings of a depressed monocyte chemotactic responsiveness. During treatment and after clinical recovery the activity of superoxide anion release normalized in all patients.
