Abstract:

Background: Cerebral malaria is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in African children. Pathology is related to interactions between malaria-infected red blood cells (iRBC) and the endothelium but the aetiology of the neurological compromise remains unclear. Methods: This thesis involved direct and downstream investigation of the endothelium in Malawian children with cerebral malaria and controls in post-mortem samples, plasma and through developing a novel ex vivo method to examine endothelium in subcutaneous tissue. Results: In post-mortem samples of brain in fatal cerebral malaria, th

Abstract:

Cerebral malaria is a common encephalopathy in African children, but the cause of death and neurological sequelae are unknown. This dissertation examines the hypothesis that raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is a determinant of poor outcome in Kenyan children with cerebral malaria. The opening cerebrospinal fluid pressure was raised in all 26 children in whom it was measured on admission and 92% of 35 children in whom it was measured after admission. Brain stem signs, particularly an abnormal respiratory pattern, absent pupillary responses and a lack of spontaneous eye movement were associate

Abstract:

School-aged children are the age group least protected by malaria interventions such as bed nets, despite being the age group most likely to be infected with malaria parasites. Effective targeting of malaria interventions among this age group is hampered by the lack of detailed data on the epidemiology of malaria. This thesis aims to describe the epidemiology of malaria among school children in Kenya and explores the usefulness of school-based approaches in malaria surveillance and control.

Abstract:

Background: With a low proportion of children receiving the first line treatment for suspected malaria, it has been proposed that artemisinin based combination therapy be subsidised in the private sector in order to improve affordability and access.

Methods: The primary objective was to evaluate the impact of providing subsidized artemether-lumefantrine (AL) through trained retailers, on the coverage of prompt effective anti-malarial treatment for febrile children aged three to 59 months. I used a cluster-randomi

Aims and Hypothesis: In this study, we have tested the hypothesis that malaria in pregnancy will not only enhance the risk of small birth size and poor infant growth, but will also generate higher blood pressures in infancy and beyond. We also tested the hypot
