Glycocalyx breakdown is associated with severe disease and fatal outcome in plasmodium falciparum Malaria
Background:Interactions between the endothelium and infected erythrocytes, microvascular dysfunction and parasite sequestration play major roles in the pathogenesis of severe falciparum malaria. The glycocalyx is a carbohydrate-rich layer lining the endothelium mediating NO production and vascular h...
