EXTRAPULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS: CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND DIAGNOSTICS


272 Differential expression of two Plasmodium falciparum variant surface antigen families in Malian children with cerebral malaria compared to mild malaria

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Recent in vitro evidence suggests that diverse parasite protein families called RIFINs and STEVORs are displayed on the surface of infected red blood cells and may have a role in severe malaria, but they remain sparsely studied in natural infections.We measured the RNA expression of Cologne these antigens in Malian children with s
