prednisone and Malaria, Falciparum

prednisone has been researched along with Malaria, Falciparum in 6 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

Malaria, Falciparum: Malaria caused by PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM. This is the severest form of malaria and is associated with the highest levels of parasites in the blood. This disease is characterized by irregularly recurring febrile paroxysms that in extreme cases occur with acute cerebral, renal, or gastrointestinal manifestations.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" We describ the case of a young soldier who, after returning from Central Africa, presented a fever associated with petechial purpura and gingivorrhagia, hemogram showed deep thrombocytopenia and macrocytic normochrome anemia, thick peripheral blood smears confirmed the diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, the patient was treated with quinine, but deep thrombocytopenia and hemorrhagic manifestations persisted, the patient then underwent corticosteroid therapy, with favorable evolution and progressive normalization of platelets."3.85Immune thrombocytopenia associated with malaria: a case report. ( Fatihi, J; Miloudi, M; Sbaai, M, 2017)
"Of these, collapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (cFSGS) is the most rarely seen."2.61Collapsing Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis with Acute Interstitial Nephritis Associated with Plasmodium Falciparum: A Case Report and Review of the Literature. ( Alasadi, L; Azhar, M; Kemnele, S; Reiser, IW; Spitalewitz, S, 2019)
