Pesquisa de antígeno circulante na malária humana

Resumo

The presence circulating antigens of P. falciparum or P. vivax was demonstrated in 14 out of 153 será of patients wíth malária. The identification of these permitted to group them into: carriers of acute non-ímmune P. vivax malária — 2 cases; patients with P. falciparum malária, 6 cases — 2 with high parasitemia, 2 with low parasitemia and 2 with circulating gametocytes only (whose stage of parasitemia was not controlled by us) and finally theie were observed circulating antigens in patients presenting the clinicai picturc of tropical splenomegaly. In the first two groups there were circulating parasites. In the cases with tropical splenomegaly no circulating parasites were found. Ali patients showed high titers of fluorescent antimalarial antibodies, P. falciparum beins used as antigen . The finding of circulating antigen is believed to be of great importance in the interpretation of the physiopathology of tropical splenomegaly .
