[oxidative stress and malaria. apropos of 24 cases of plasmodium falciparum malaria].oxidative stress has been suggested to be implicated in malaria. but it is not clear whether its major role is to kill intraerythrocytic parasites or to cause damage to host tissues. we have studied it in 24 european subjects hospitalized in saint-andré hospital, bordeaux, france for plasmodium falciparum access returning from a tropical trip, and in a group control of 16 subjects. malondialdehyde, one of the oxidative stress markers is significantly increased in patients compared to the control ...19968765951

[information campaign in aquitaine about protection against malaria for travelers going to tropical regions].the incidence of imported malaria is increasing in france, in relation to the increasing frequency of travel to tropical areas and the extension of chemoresistant strains of plasmodium falciparum throughout the world. worsening morbidity and mortality due to this parasite in the last 5 years is having an impact in socioeconomic terms; this is all the more prejudicial in that a young healthy population is concerned. traditional chemoprophylaxis is at present insufficient for adequately controllin ...19902085919
[imported malaria in bordeaux in 1989. epidemiologic, clinical and therapeutic study of 71 cases].in 1989 there were 71 cases of imported malaria admitted to the hospital in bordeaux. this is 16.5% and 29% lower than in 1988 and 1987 respectively, thanks to the widespread use in africa of mefloquine chemoprophylaxis. sub-saharan africa is involved in 95% of cases, mainly west africa (70% of cases), unlike the situation in 1987, and the first cases of paludism despite mefloquine chemoprophylaxis appeared during the second semester from the seasonal mid-summer recrudescence onwards, in travell ...19902085918
[imported malaria in bordeaux: evaluation of the risk of infection with plasmodium falciparum as a function of country visited].this study of imported cases of malaria, which was carried out in bordeaux (france) in 1987-89, emphasizes the major part played by plasmodium falciparum, especially in areas lying south of the sahara in africa, from where falciparum malaria is mainly imported to other countries. the study of these imported cases is strengthening our understanding of the epidemiology of malaria in relation to the country or area, whether the transmission occurs without interruptions or seasonally. the number of ...19912054924
failure of falciparum malaria prophylaxis by mefloquine in travelers from west africa.due to the spread of chloroquine-resistant strains of plasmodium falciparum in french speaking parts of africa, we have found it necessary to prescribe mefloquine for antimalaria prophylaxis to travelers to this area. weekly doses of 125 or 250 mg have been recommended for short journeys. in spite of this regimen, 16 documented cases of falciparum malaria in travelers have been recorded in the bordeaux hospital center since october, 1988. fifteen of these patients were tourists returning from we ...19911928565
