Elevated cell-specific microparticles are a biological marker for cerebral dysfunctions in human severe malaria.

Elevated cell-specific microparticles are a biological marker for cerebral dysfunctions in human severe malaria.

Cerebral malaria (CM) and severe anemia (SA) are the most severe complications of Plasmodium falciparum infections. Although increased release of endothelial microparticles (MP) correlates with malaria severity, the full extent of vascular cell vesiculation remains unknown. Here, we characterize the...
