Malaria: Pathogenesis
P.falciparum has greater virulence associated with high levels of parasitemia that may lead to:
- severe {{c1::anemia}},
- {{c1::cerebral}} symptoms,
- {{c1::renal}} failure,
- {{c1::pulmonary}} edema,
- and {{c1::death}}, depending on the susceptibility of the host
- {{c1::P. vivax, P. ovale, P. knowlesi, and P. malariae}} cause low levels of parasitemia, mild anemia, and , in very rare instances, {{c2::splenic}} rupture and {{c2::nephrotic}} syndrome.
