- Asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infection in children is associated with increased auto-antibody production, high IL-10 plasma levels and antibodies to merozoite surface protein 3Publication . Guiyedi, Vincent; Bécavin, Christophe; Herbert, Fabien; Gray, Julian; Cazenave, Pierre-André; Kombila, Maryvonne; Crisanti, Andrea; Fesel, Constantin; Pied, SylvianeMechanisms of acquired protection to malaria in asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum carriers are only partially understood. Among them, the role plays by the self-reactive antibodies has not been clarified yet. In this study, the relationship between repertoires of circulating self-reactive and parasite-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG), their correlation with cytokine levels, and their association with protection against malaria was investigated in asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum-infected Gabonese children.
- Evidence of IL-17, IP-10, and IL-10 involvement in multiple-organ dysfunction and IL-17 pathway in acute renal failure associated to Plasmodium falciparum malariaPublication . Herbert, Fabien; Tchitchek, Nicolas; Bansal, Devendra; Jacques, Julien; Pathak, Sulabha; Bécavin, Christophe; Fesel, Constantin; Dalko, Esther; Cazenave, Pierre-André; Preda, Cristian; Ravindran, Balachandran; Sharma, Shobhona; Das, Bidyut; Pied, SylvianePlasmodium falciparum malaria in India is characterized by high rates of severe disease, with multiple organ dysfunction (MOD)-mainly associated with acute renal failure (ARF)-and increased mortality. The objective of this study is to identify cytokine signatures differentiating severe malaria patients with MOD, cerebral malaria (CM), and cerebral malaria with MOD (CM-MOD) in India. We have previously shown that two cytokines clusters differentiated CM from mild malaria in Maharashtra. Hence, we also aimed to determine if these cytokines could discriminate malaria subphenotypes in Odisha.
