Whole-Blood Transcriptional Signatures Composed of Erythropoietic and NRF2-Regulated Genes Differ Between Cerebral Malaria and Severe Malarial Anemia
25 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background: Among the severe malaria syndromes, severe malarial anemia (SMA) is the most common, whereas cerebral malaria (CM) is the most lethal. However, the mechanisms that lead to CM and SMA are unclear. Methods: We compared transcriptomic profiles of whole blood obtained from Ugandan children with acute CM (n = 17) or SMA (n = 17) and community children without Plasmodium falciparum infection (n = 12) and...
