Cell-free hemoglobin is associated with increased vascular resistance and reduced peripheral perfusion in severe malaria
<p><strong>Background</strong></p> In severe falciparum malaria, unlike sepsis, hypotension on admission is uncommon. We hypothesized that low nitric oxide bioavailability due to the presence of cell-free hemoglobin (CFH) increases vascular tone in severe malaria. <p>&...
