Q

Acquired immunity in malaria

A

Anti disease immunity

16
Q

Exception to acquired immunity to malaria

A

Pregnant women

New CSA binding parasites sequester in placenta

17
Q

Asplenia and malaria

A

High parasitemia and mature forms of Pf are seen in smear

18
Q

How are neonates protected against malaria

A

HbF

Maternal antibodies

19
Q

Pre-munition

A

Anti disease immunity

20
Q

Mechanism of pre-munition in malaria

A

Antibody repertoire against all variants of PfEMP

21
Q

Cause of malaria paroxysms

A

TNF A release stimulated by GPI moieties in ruptured schizhonts

22
Q

Why is Pf more pathogenic?

A

Cytoadherence- binding of RBCs to endothelium
Rosette- binding of infected to uninfected erythrocytes
Reduced RBC deformability

23
Q

What plays a central role in falciparum pathogenesis

24
Cytoadherence is reminiscent of
Leukocyte adhesion
25
Rosetting is mediated by
PfEMP binding to CR-1(complement receptor 1),blood group A antigen
26
How is cerebral malaria different from thrombotic stroke?
No permanent neurologic sequelae
27
Hypoglycemia in malaria
Children- normal insulin levels,reduced gluconeogenesis,increased consumption by hypermetabolic tissues,parasite consumption Adults- Hyperinsulinemia due to islet stimulation by parasite derived factors,parenteral quinine
28
Pulmonary Edema in malaria is common in
Adults | Rare in children
29
Earliest sign of impending pulmonary Edema
Dyspnea Increased respiratory rate Occurs before accessory muscle use or increased interstitial markings
30
Time of onset of pulmonary Edema in malaria
After other changes of severe malaria develops | May even occur at time of recovery
31
Respiratory distress in malaria
``` Noncardiogenic pulmonary Edema Met acidosis Acute respiratory infections Sepsis lated ARDS aspiration Nosocomial pneumonia Cheyne stokes due to cerebral pathological processes ```
32
Why vivax and ovale infections are benign?
Parasitemia< 1% No sequestration Increased RBC deformability
33
Duration of intraerythrocytic cycle in knowlesi
24hrs
