Malaria Malaria Definition & OrganismsDefinition & Organisms
ThisMalaria is a protozoan disease transmitted by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. It is the most important of the parasitic diseases of humans, with transmission in 107 countries containing 3 billion people and causing 1–3 million deaths each year. Although there are promising new control and research initiatives, malaria remains today, as it has been for centuries, a heavy burden on tropical communities, a threat to nonendemic countries, and a danger to travelers.

Etiology and PathogenesisEtiology and Pathogenesis Four species of the genus Plasmodium cause nearly all malarial infections in humans .These are P.
falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae . Almost all deaths are caused by falciparum malaria. Human infection begins when a female anopheline mosquito inoculates plasmodial sporozoites from its salivary gland during a blood meal . These microscopic malarial parasites are carried rapidly via the bloodstream to the liver, where they invade hepatic parenchymal cells and begin a period of asexual reproduction.
By this amplification process a single sporozoite eventually may produce from 10,000 to >30,000 daughter merozoites. The swollen infected liver cell eventually bursts, discharging motile merozoites into the bloodstream. These then invade the red blood cells (RBCs) and multiply six- to twentyfold every 48–72 h. When the parasites reach densities of ~50/L of blood, the symptomatic stage of the infection begins.
In P. vivax and P. ovale infections, a proportion of the intrahepatic forms do not divide immediately but remain dormant for a period ranging from 3 weeks to a year or longer before reproduction begins. These dormant forms, or hypnozoites, are the cause of the relapses that characterize infection with these two species.

Malignant MalariaMalignant Malaria
Falciparum Malaria is called as Malignant Malaria due to its potential
• To produce more merozoites in lesser time(5 days) and cause sever complications
•To affect all stages f RBCs
•To block capillaries
•No exo-erythrocytic cycle

Why Falciparum Cause Why Falciparum Cause Cerebral Malaria?Cerebral Malaria?In P. falciparum infections, membrane protuberances appear on the erythrocyte's surface 12–15 h after the cell's invasion. These "knobs" extrude a high-molecular-weight, antigenically variant, strain-specific erythrocyte membrane adhesive protein (PfEMP1) that mediates attachment to receptors on capillary endothelium—an event termed cytoadherence.
Several vascular receptors have been identified, of which intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is probably the most important in the brain, chondroitin sulfate B in the placenta, and CD36 in most other organs. Thus, the infected erythrocytes stick inside and eventually block capillaries and venules. At the same stage, these P. falciparum–infected RBCs may also adhere to uninfected RBCs to form rosettes

Several days of prodromal symptoms such as malaise, headache, myalgia , anorexia, and mild fever are interrupted by the first paroxysm. Suddenly the patient feels inexplicably cold (in a hot climate) and apprehensive. Mild shivering quickly turns into violent shaking with teeth-chattering.

Treatmen
Uncomplicated Malaria Infections due to Plasmodium vivax , Plasmodium malariae , and Plasmodium ovale should be treated with oral chloroquine (total dose,10- 25 mg of base/kg).
.
Tropical Splenomegaly is treated by Prguanil 100mg/day+ Folic Acid 5 mgChronic Malaria is treated by Primaquine 15mg/day + Chloroquine

Combination therapyCombination therapy
In much of the tropics, drug-resistant P. falciparum has been increasing . It is now accepted that, to prevent resistance, falciparum malaria should be treated with drug combinations and not with single drugs in endemic areas; the same rationale has been applied successfully to the treatment of tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. Artemisinin combination regimens now constitute first-line recommended treatment for falciparum malaria.
