Ganga Ram docs link &amp;lsquo;benign&amp;rsquo; parasite with platelet drop, liver problems.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A malaria parasite responsible for the milder form of the disease &amp;mdash; Plasmodium vivax &amp;mdash; has been linked with severe complications in patients. A new study by Sir Ganga Ram Hospital doctors on 165 patients, published in the journal Tropical Doctor, says the parasite may be deadlier than thought.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Of 121 patients diagnosed with vivax malaria, three died of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Other complications seen in the study group include thrombocytopenia (drop in platelets), liver problems, and kidney damage.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Malaria is a vector-borne disease and the parasite is carried by the female Anopheles mosquito. The two variants of the disease are attributed to parasites within the Plasmodium family: vivax and falciparum. The latter leads to the more aggressive form of malaria.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The study says: &amp;ldquo;P. vivax malaria, although considered to be a benign entity, can have a severe and complicated course, which is usually associated with P. falciparum malaria.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Dr Atul Gogia, corresponding author of the study, said, &amp;ldquo;In the northern belt, vivax malaria is more common than P. falciparum. The only cases of the latter are seen in travellers.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He says the severity in complications could be due to a number of reasons. &amp;ldquo;It could be increased drug resistance or mutation or simply a matter of better understanding of the disease. It is difficult to identify a single cause, but it is clear that these patients need closer observation and should be admitted wherever there are indications of complications,&amp;rdquo; Dr Gogia says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In the study, fall in platelets was seen in 113 patients (68 per cent), with counts dropping below 20 x 103/uL (generally regarded as the level below which blood transfusion is needed) in 43 patients (7 per cent).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Liver enzymes were elevated in 55 patients, with 12 showing liver enzyme levels three times the normal. Doctors said, &amp;ldquo;This is indicative of malarial hepatitis due to direct hepatic (liver) injury by the parasite.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There were 105 men and 60 women in the study group. They reported to the hospital between September 2008 and August 2009. The deadly parasite
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

121 were diagnosed with vivax malaria

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
113 patients experienced fall in platelets

A new study by Sir Ganga Ram Hospital doctors on 165 patients, published in the journal Tropical Doctor, says the parasite may be deadlier than thought.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Of 121 patients diagnosed with vivax malaria, three died of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

It is difficult to identify a single cause, but it is clear that these patients need closer observation and should be admitted wherever there are indications of complications,&amp;rdquo; Dr Gogia says.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;In the study, fall in platelets was seen in 113 patients (68 per cent), with counts dropping below 20 x 103/uL (generally regarded as the level below which blood transfusion is needed) in 43 patients (7 per cent).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Liver enzymes were elevated in 55 patients, with 12 showing liver enzyme levels three times the normal.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Ganga Ram docs link &amp;lsquo;benign&amp;rsquo; parasite with platelet drop, liver problems.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A malaria parasite responsible for the milder form of the disease &amp;mdash; Plasmodium vivax &amp;mdash; has been linked with severe complications in patients. A new study by Sir Ganga Ram Hospital doctors on 165 patients, published in the journal Tropical Doctor, says the parasite may be deadlier than thought.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Of 121 patients diagnosed with vivax malaria, three died of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Other complications seen in the study group include thrombocytopenia (drop in platelets), liver problems, and kidney damage.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Malaria is a vector-borne disease and the parasite is carried by the female Anopheles mosquito. The two variants of the disease are attributed to parasites within the Plasmodium family: vivax and falciparum. The latter leads to the more aggressive form of malaria.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The study says: &amp;ldquo;P. vivax malaria, although considered to be a benign entity, can have a severe and complicated course, which is usually associated with P. falciparum malaria.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Dr Atul Gogia, corresponding author of the study, said, &amp;ldquo;In the northern belt, vivax malaria is more common than P. falciparum. The only cases of the latter are seen in travellers.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He says the severity in complications could be due to a number of reasons. &amp;ldquo;It could be increased drug resistance or mutation or simply a matter of better understanding of the disease. It is difficult to identify a single cause, but it is clear that these patients need closer observation and should be admitted wherever there are indications of complications,&amp;rdquo; Dr Gogia says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In the study, fall in platelets was seen in 113 patients (68 per cent), with counts dropping below 20 x 103/uL (generally regarded as the level below which blood transfusion is needed) in 43 patients (7 per cent).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Liver enzymes were elevated in 55 patients, with 12 showing liver enzyme levels three times the normal. Doctors said, &amp;ldquo;This is indicative of malarial hepatitis due to direct hepatic (liver) injury by the parasite.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There were 105 men and 60 women in the study group. They reported to the hospital between September 2008 and August 2009. The deadly parasite
&lt;/div&gt;

A new study by Sir Ganga Ram Hospital doctors on 165 patients, published in the journal Tropical Doctor, says the parasite may be deadlier than thought.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Of 121 patients diagnosed with vivax malaria, three died of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Other complications seen in the study group include thrombocytopenia (drop in platelets), liver problems, and kidney damage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Malaria is a vector-borne disease and the parasite is carried by the female Anopheles mosquito. The two variants of the disease are attributed to parasites within the Plasmodium family: vivax and falciparum. The latter leads to the more aggressive form of malaria.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;The study says: &amp;ldquo;P. vivax malaria, although considered to be a benign entity, can have a severe and complicated course, which is usually associated with P. falciparum malaria.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Dr Atul Gogia, corresponding author of the study, said, &amp;ldquo;In the northern belt, vivax malaria is more common than P. falciparum.

It is difficult to identify a single cause, but it is clear that these patients need closer observation and should be admitted wherever there are indications of complications,&amp;rdquo; Dr Gogia says.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;In the study, fall in platelets was seen in 113 patients (68 per cent), with counts dropping below 20 x 103/uL (generally regarded as the level below which blood transfusion is needed) in 43 patients (7 per cent).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;Liver enzymes were elevated in 55 patients, with 12 showing liver enzyme levels three times the normal. Doctors said, &amp;ldquo;This is indicative of malarial hepatitis due to direct hepatic (liver) injury by the parasite.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;There were 105 men and 60 women in the study group.

Ganga Ram docs link &amp;lsquo;benign&amp;rsquo; parasite with platelet drop, liver problems.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
A malaria parasite responsible for the milder form of the disease &amp;mdash; Plasmodium vivax &amp;mdash; has been linked with severe complications in patients. A new study by Sir Ganga Ram Hospital doctors on 165 patients, published in the journal Tropical Doctor, says the parasite may be deadlier than thought.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Of 121 patients diagnosed with vivax malaria, three died of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Other complications seen in the study group include thrombocytopenia (drop in platelets), liver problems, and kidney damage.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Malaria is a vector-borne disease and the parasite is carried by the female Anopheles mosquito. The two variants of the disease are attributed to parasites within the Plasmodium family: vivax and falciparum. The latter leads to the more aggressive form of malaria.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The study says: &amp;ldquo;P. vivax malaria, although considered to be a benign entity, can have a severe and complicated course, which is usually associated with P. falciparum malaria.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Dr Atul Gogia, corresponding author of the study, said, &amp;ldquo;In the northern belt, vivax malaria is more common than P. falciparum. The only cases of the latter are seen in travellers.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He says the severity in complications could be due to a number of reasons. &amp;ldquo;It could be increased drug resistance or mutation or simply a matter of better understanding of the disease. It is difficult to identify a single cause, but it is clear that these patients need closer observation and should be admitted wherever there are indications of complications,&amp;rdquo; Dr Gogia says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In the study, fall in platelets was seen in 113 patients (68 per cent), with counts dropping below 20 x 103/uL (generally regarded as the level below which blood transfusion is needed) in 43 patients (7 per cent).
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Liver enzymes were elevated in 55 patients, with 12 showing liver enzyme levels three times the normal. Doctors said, &amp;ldquo;This is indicative of malarial hepatitis due to direct hepatic (liver) injury by the parasite.&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
There were 105 men and 60 women in the study group. They reported to the hospital between September 2008 and August 2009. The deadly parasite
&lt;/div&gt;

What was thought to be milder malaria may not be so: Study-Pritha Chatterjee

-The Indian Express Ganga Ram docs link ‘benign’ parasite with platelet drop, liver problems. A malaria parasite responsible for the milder form of the disease — Plasmodium vivax — has been linked with severe complications in patients. A new study by Sir Ganga Ram Hospital doctors on 165 patients, published in the journal Tropical Doctor, says the parasite may be deadlier than thought. Of 121 patients diagnosed with vivax malaria, three died of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Other complications seen in the study group include thrombocytopenia (drop in platelets), liver problems, and kidney damage. Malaria is a vector-borne disease and the parasite is carried by the female Anopheles mosquito. The two variants of the disease are attributed to parasites within the Plasmodium family: vivax and falciparum. The latter leads to the more aggressive form of malaria. The study says: “P. vivax malaria, although considered to be a benign entity, can have a severe and complicated course, which is usually associated with P. falciparum malaria.” Dr Atul Gogia, corresponding author of the study, said, “In the northern belt, vivax malaria is more common than P. falciparum. The only cases of the latter are seen in travellers.” He says the severity in complications could be due to a number of reasons. “It could be increased drug resistance or mutation or simply a matter of better understanding of the disease. It is difficult to identify a single cause, but it is clear that these patients need closer observation and should be admitted wherever there are indications of complications,” Dr Gogia says. In the study, fall in platelets was seen in 113 patients (68 per cent), with counts dropping below 20 x 103/uL (generally regarded as the level below which blood transfusion is needed) in 43 patients (7 per cent). Liver enzymes were elevated in 55 patients, with 12 showing liver enzyme levels three times the normal. Doctors said, “This is indicative of malarial hepatitis due to direct hepatic (liver) injury by the parasite.” There were 105 men and 60 women in the study group. They reported to the hospital between September 2008 and August 2009.
