| hypoglycaemia and severe plasmodium falciparum malaria among pregnant sudanese women in an area characterized by unstable malaria transmission. | abstract: background: pregnant women are more susceptible to severe plasmodium falciparum malaria, which can lead to poor maternal and fetal outcomes. few data exist on the epidemiology of severe p. falciparum malaria in pregnant women. a hospital-based study was carried out to assess the pattern of severe p. falciparum malaria among pregnant women at the kassala and medani maternity hospitals, which are located in areas of unstable malaria transmission, in eastern and central sudan, respectivel ... | 2011 | 21605445 |
| artesunate plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine for treatment of uncomplicated plasmodium falciparum malaria in sudan. | early diagnosis and effective treatment with an appropriate drug form the main components of the world health organization's strategy to reduce malaria related mortality. the few available drugs might be safeguarded if combined with artesunate. the addition of artesunate to a standard antimalarial treatment substantially reduces treatment failure, recrudescence and gametocyte carriage. | 2005 | 16162284 |
| comparison of artesunate and quinine in the treatment of severe plasmodium falciparum malaria at kassala hospital, sudan. | there is a need to investigate the treatment (artesunate and quinine) of severe malaria, as this will influence the outcome of morbidity and the mortality of the disease. | 2014 | 24820465 |
| a perspective of the epidemiology of malaria and anaemia and their impact on maternal and perinatal outcomes in sudan. | both malaria and anaemia have adverse effects on maternal and perinatal outcomes. thus there is an urgent need to investigate the co-epidemiology of malaria and anaemia and their combined impact on maternal and perinatal outcomes in the different regions of sudan. | 2011 | 21389586 |

| acute-phase proteins in pregnant sudanese women with severe plasmodium falciparum malaria. | a case-control study was carried out in kassala and medani maternity hospitals in sudan to investigate acute-phase proteins [haptoglobin, c-reactive protein (crp), ferritin and albumin] in three groups of pregnant women (32 in each arm) comprising those with severe plasmodium falciparum malaria or uncomplicated p. falciparum malaria and healthy controls. whilst there was no significant difference in the levels of albumin and haptoglobin, ferritin and crp levels were significantly higher in pregn ... | 2012 | 22818740 |
