Oxidative stress and erythrocyte damage in Kenyan children with severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
Anaemia causes significant morbidity in children with Plasmodium falciparum malaria, but the mechanism(s) are unclear. During malarial infection, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated that may contribute to erythrocyte damage and anaemia. This study measured the concentrations of alp...
