| malaria comatosa | Falciparum malaria complicated by coma. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| malaria vaccines | Vaccines made from antigens arising from any of the four strains of plasmodium which cause malaria in humans, or from p. Berghei which causes malaria in rodents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| malaria, avian | Any of a group of infections of fowl caused by protozoa of the genera plasmodium, leucocytozoon, and haemoproteus. The life cycles of these parasites and the disease produced bears strong resemblance to those observed in human malaria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| malaria, cerebral | A condition that is most commonly seen as a severe complication of malaria, falciparum mainly involving the brain. It has also been reported to occur as a result of infection with other plasmodium species. This disease is often fatal and presents as disturbances in consciousness ranging from somnolence to coma, major motor seizures, and organic psychosis. The onset may be gradual or sudden following a convulsion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| malaria, falciparum | The most dangerous type of malaria. Persons carrying the sickle cell gene have some protection against malaria. Persons with a gene for haemoglobin c (another abnormal haemoglobin like sickle haemoglobin), thalassaemia trait or deficiency of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) are thought also to have partial protection against malaria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| malaria, vivax | Malaria caused by plasmodium vivax. This form of malaria is less severe than malaria, falciparum, but there is a higher probability for relapses to occur. Febrile paroxysms often occur every other day. (12 Dec 1998) |
| malariae malaria | A malarial fever with paroxysms that recur every 72 hours or every fourth day, reckoning the day of the paroxysm as the first; due to the schizogony and release of merozoites from infected cells, with invasion of new red blood corpuscles by Plasmodium malariae. Synonym: quartan fever, quartan malaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malarial | Pertaining to or affected with malaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malarial cachexia | Malaria that develops after frequently repeated attacks of one of the acute forms, usually falciparum malaria; it is characterised by profound anaemia, enlargement of the spleen, emaciation, mental depression, sallow complexion, oedema of ankles, feeble digestion, and muscular weakness. Synonym: limnaemia, malarial cachexia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malarial crescent | The male or female gametocyte(s) of Plasmodium falciparum, whose presence in human red blood cells is diagnostic of falciparum malaria. Synonym: crescent, sickle form. Myopic crescent, a white or grayish white crescentic area in the fundus of the eye located on the temporal side of the optic disk; caused by atrophy of the choroid, permitting the sclera to become visible. Synonym: myopic conus. Sublingual crescent, the crescent-shaped area on the floor of the mouth formed by the lingual wall of the mandible and the adjacent part of the floor of the mouth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malarial haemoglobinuria | A condition, now uncommon, resulting from Plasmodium falciparum infection (malignant tertian malaria with severe haemolysis); frequently seen in Caucasians after interrupted treatment with quinine. Synonym: blackwater fever, haemoglobinuric fever, West African fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malarial knobs | Rounded protrusions of a red blood cell infected with Plasmodium falciparum, responsible for the adhesion of infected red cells to one another and to the endothelium of the blood vessels containing these infected cells; results in capillary blockage responsible for much of the pathology of malignant tertian malaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malarial periodicity | A clinical rhythmicity reflected in periodic fevers and chills recurring at approximately 48-hour intervals in tertian malaria (Plasmodium vivax or P. Ovale) or at 72-hour intervals in quartan malaria (Periodicity malariae); the rhythm of tertian or 48-hour cycles is frequently modified in malignant tertian or falciparum malaria (P. Falciparum); associated with release of merozoites from red cells during erythrocytic schizogony, although the controlling mechanism for the synchronous release is unknown. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malarial pigment | A dark brown, granular pigment which rotates the plane of polarised light and has other properties similar to formalin pigment; occurs in parasites, such as Plasmodium malariae, around brain capillaries, and in fixed macrophages of spleen, liver, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. See: malarial pigment stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malarial pigment stain | <technique> A stain using phloxine-toluidine blue O sequence; malarial pigment and nuclei are bluish, erythrocytes and cytoplasm are red to orange; found in phagocytic cells of the reticuloendothelial system. (05 Mar 2000) |
