| pediatric plasmodium falciparium malaria: a ten-year experience from washington, dc. | from 1983 to 1992 a total of 64 children were admitted with a diagnosis of malaria to children's national medical center in washington, dc. specific etiology is available in 59 of 64. of these 59 cases 52 (88%) were caused by plasmodium falciparum. fifty-one of 52 infections were acquired in africa, 35 (67%) of these in traveling united states citizens. eleven (21%) of 52 children were initially admitted to the intensive care unit for i.v. quinidine or quinine therapy. eight (73%) of these 11 pa ... | 1994 | 7970971 |
| a retrospective examination of sporozoite- and trophozoite-induced infections with plasmodium falciparum: development of parasitologic and clinical immunity during primary infection. | a retrospective analysis was made of the parasitologic and fever records of 318 patients who had been infected with the el limon, santee cooper, or mclendon strains of plasmodium falciparum for treatment of neurosyphilis between 1940 and 1963 to determine the development of parasitologic and clinical immunity during primary infection. the presence of fever > or = 101 degrees f and > or = 104 degrees f, asexual parasite counts > or = 1,000 and > or = 10,000/microl, and gametocyte counts > or = 10 ... | 1999 | 10432041 |

| evaluation of the pyrogenic threshold for plasmodium falciparum malaria in naive individuals. | a retrospective statistical analysis of two independent data sets was undertaken to determine the peripheral plasmodium falciparum parasitemia associated with the onset of fever in naive human hosts, and to assess the dynamics of this threshold during the course of the infection and subsequent reinfection. analysis indicated that there were significant differences between the thresholds for different p. falciparum strains in one data set, and significant interactions between host ethnicity and p ... | 2002 | 12201578 |

| gametocytemia and fever in human malaria infections. | we examine the charts of 408 malaria-naive neurosyphilis patients given malaria therapy at the south carolina usphs facility, with daily records encompassing at least 93% of the duration of infection, and focus on the 152 patients infected with the st. elizabeth strain of plasmodium vivax, 82 with the mclendon strain of plasmodium filciparum, 36 with the usphs strain of plasmodium malariae, and 15 with the donaldson strain of plasmodium ovale in whom gametocytes appeared before drug, or other, i ... | 2007 | 17626355 |
