A case of quinine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria, followed by a postmalaria neurological syndrome and a recurrence episode, is described. Genetic characterization of the P. falciparum isolate obtained by analysis of msp1 and msp2 amplicons revealed the coexistence of two genotypes causing the first malaria episode and the presence of a unique isolate responsible for the recurrence.
描述了1例对奎宁耐药的恶性疟原虫疟疾病例,随后出现疟疾后神经综合征和复发发作。通过对msp1和msp2扩增子的分析对获得的恶性疟原虫分离株进行基因特征分析,结果显示导致首次疟疾发作的两种基因型共存,且存在一个导致复发的独特分离株。
