Investigating a causal role for neutrophil count on<i>P. falciparum</i>severe malaria: a Mendelian Randomization study

2023-09-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Malaria caused by P. falciparum imposes a tremendous public health burden on people living in sub-Saharan Africa. Severe malaria is associated with high morbidity and mortality and results from complications such as cerebral malaria, severe anaemia or respiratory distress. Individuals living in malaria endemic regions often have a reduced circulating neutrophil count due to a heritable phenomen...
