Elevated admission C-reactive protein to albumin ratios are associated with disease severity and respiratory complications in adults with imported falciparum malaria

Bodo Hoffmeister et al.

Summary: This observational study found that diminished admission albumin levels and elevated C-reactive protein to albumin ratios are associated with disease severity and respiratory complications in imported falciparum malaria. These readily and ubiquitously available markers may facilitate early identification of at-risk patients.

Procalcitonin levels in children affected by severe malaria compared to those with uncomplicated malaria in the absence of bacterial infection: a cross-sectional study

Jean-Claude Katte et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the difference in plasma procalcitonin levels between children affected by severe and uncomplicated malaria. The results showed that in the absence of overt bacterial infection, there was no difference in procalcitonin levels between the two groups. Therefore, bacterial infection should be thoroughly checked for in children with raised serum procalcitonin diagnosed with severe malaria.

Prevalence and characteristics of malaria co-infection among individuals with visceral leishmaniasis in Africa and Asia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Polrat Wilairatana et al.

Summary: The study systematically reviewed co-infection of malaria and visceral leishmaniasis, finding heterogeneous prevalence rates in different geographical areas. Age and anemia at admission were associated with co-infection status. Further longitudinal studies are needed to determine the impact of malaria co-infection on the severity of visceral leishmaniasis.

Infection Manager System (IMS) as a new hemocytometry-based bacteremia detection tool: A diagnostic accuracy study in a malaria-endemic area of Burkina Faso

Annelies Post et al.

Summary: The study evaluated a software algorithm called the Infection Manager System (IMS) for differentiating causes of acute febrile illness, particularly in Burkina Faso. The findings showed that IMS has a high negative predictive value for detecting bacteremia, which may have the potential to improve antibiotic dispensing practices in healthcare facilities.

Prevalence, probability, and outcomes of typhoidal/non-typhoidal Salmonella and malaria co-infection among febrile patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Polrat Wilairatana et al.

Summary: The study found that the overlap of malaria parasites and Salmonella spp. in the tropics could lead to co-infections being overestimated, with a higher association between malaria and Salmonella in children. Future longitudinal studies with appropriate diagnostic methods are recommended to accurately determine co-infection prevalence and outcomes.

Prevalence and characteristics of malaria among COVID-19 individuals: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and analysis of case reports

Polrat Wilairatana et al.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and characteristics of malaria infection among COVID-19-infected individuals. The results showed that co-infected patients typically present with mild to moderate parasitemia and symptoms, along with thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, and elevated bilirubin levels. Prompt management is necessary to prevent serious outcomes in individuals co-infected with COVID-19 and malaria in malaria-endemic regions.

Aongart Mahittikorn et al.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the rate of misidentification of P. knowlesi as P. malariae by microscopy in endemic and non-endemic areas. The pooled prevalence of misidentification was estimated at 57%, with the highest rate in Sawarak, Malaysia. Molecular techniques are recommended for accurate diagnosis in cases with high parasite density resembling P. malariae.

Alteration of Blood Lactate Levels in Severe Falciparum Malaria: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Polrat Wilairatana et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated significant differences in blood lactate levels between patients with severe malaria and those with uncomplicated malaria, as well as between patients who died from severe malaria and those who survived. Further research is required to explore the prognostic value of blood lactate levels in identifying high-risk patients with severe malaria or at risk of death.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the differences between P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri to support global malaria control efforts. The research found discrepancies in prevalence, clinical features, and laboratory parameters between the two species. Further studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to confirm these differences or similarities to facilitate malaria control and eradication programs.

Summary: This study investigated the co-infection of malaria and scrub typhus in febrile patients, finding a higher prevalence of scrub typhus infection among co-infected patients. Research conducted in India and Thailand showed varying rates of scrub typhus infection, indicating that co-infections are not random.

A meta-analysis on the prevalence and characteristics of severe malaria in patients with Plasmodium spp. and HIV co-infection

Aongart Mahittikorn et al.

Summary: Co-infection with malaria and HIV can increase the severity of both diseases, with patients experiencing higher odds of severe malaria (SM) compared to those with only Plasmodium infection. The prevalence of SM is high among co-infected patients, emphasizing the importance of early identification and treatment to reduce mortality rates.
