Hydroxyurea treatment is associated with lower malaria incidence in children with sickle cell anemia in sub-Saharan Africa

Peter Olupot-Olupot et al.

Summary: The REACH study provides hydroxyurea at maximum tolerated dose for children with sickle cell anemia in sub-Saharan Africa, and it not only reduces SCA-related clinical events but also decreases malaria incidence by around 50%. The study analyzed the associations between hydroxyurea and lower malaria rates, through recording infections in clinical sites across Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and Uganda. The results showed that ANC and splenomegaly were significant factors associated with malaria risk, and hydroxyurea treatment at MTD led to lower malaria incidence through incompletely defined mechanisms.

Neutrophils in malaria: A double-edged sword role

Kehinde Adebayo Babatunde et al.

Summary: Neutrophils play an important role in malaria, both in the defense against the malaria parasite and in the pathogenesis of the disease. However, malaria parasites inhibit the antimicrobial function of neutrophils, which may make malaria patients more susceptible to bacterial infections.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of artemisinin-based combinations for treating uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Burkina Faso. Results showed inadequate efficacy of the treatments in two sites, suggesting a change of first-line ACT may be warranted.

Suspected Severe Malaria in a Sudanese Patient Affected by Sickle Cell Disease Who Was Treated with Hydroxyurea

Giulia Chiopris et al.

Summary: Sickle cell disease is the most common genetic disease in sub-Saharan Africa, with symptoms usually appearing in early childhood. Patients with SCD are at risk of malaria in endemic countries, and guidelines recommend antimalarial chemoprophylaxis. Hydroxyurea is considered a safe and effective treatment for SCD, although its impact on malaria incidence and severity still needs further demonstration.
