  1. 21. T cell and antibody responses in Plasmodium falciparum malaria and their relation to disease susceptibility

    Författare :Salah Eldin Farouk; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Hannah Akuffo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; P. falciparum; Malaria; Granulysin; Fulani; Schizont; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria antigen-induced polarization of T cells into effectors Th1 and/or Th2 cells and their subsequent release of cytokines is known to affect antibody production. This thesis includes studies on early innate responses to the parasite, with a focus on γδT cells, and acquired specific responses in African sympatric ethnic tribes. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Managing malaria in under-fives : prompt access, adherence to treatment and referral in rural Tanzania

    Författare :Daudi Simba; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Malaria;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Nearly a million people die of malaria each year, the majority are children in rural African settings. These deaths could be reduced if children had prompt access to artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACTs), demonstrated adherence to treatment and to referral advice for severe malaria. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Human candidate polymorphisms and malaria susceptibility in sympatric ethnic groups, The Fulani and The Dogon of Mali

    Författare :Bakary Maiga; Ann-Kristin Östlund Farrants; Lars Hviid; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Malaria; Fulani; Dogon; Blood group; SNPs; IL-4; FcγRIIa; antibody level; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : In malaria endemic regions, resistance to malaria constitutes a critical selective pressureon genetic polymorphisms that regulate immune defense and inflammatory pathways.Differences in malaria susceptibility between sympatric ethnic groups have been described inMali. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Integrated community case management of malaria and pneumonia in eastern Uganda : care-seeking, adherence, and community health worker performance

    Författare :Joan Nakayaga Kalyango; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :malaria;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Despite being easily preventable and treatable, malaria and pneumonia are major killers of children aged less than five years. Integrated community based interventions through which lay persons called community health workers (CHWs) can manage malaria, pneumonia, diarrhea and neonatal conditions are recommended by WHO and UNICEF. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Community case management of malaria and pneumonia in children : exploring use of diagnostics by community health workers in Uganda

    Författare :David Odaka Mukanga; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :malaria;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Malaria and pneumonia are leading causes of under-five mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa. WHO/UNICEF recommend integrated community malaria and pneumonia care in situations where febrile children also have cough and rapid breathing. LÄS MER
