Platelet disturbances correlate with endothelial cell activation in uncomplicated Plasmodium vivax malaria.

Platelet disturbances correlate with endothelial cell activation in uncomplicated Plasmodium vivax malaria.

Platelets drive endothelial cell activation in many diseases. However, if this occurs in Plasmodium vivax malaria is unclear. As platelets have been reported to be activated and to play a role in inflammatory response during malaria, we hypothesized that this would correlate with endothelial alterat...
