Cerebral malaria is a severe complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection associated with high mortality even when highly effective antiparasitic therapy is used. Adjunctive therapies that modify the pathophysiological processes caused by malaria are a possible way to improve outcome. This review focuses on the utility of PPARγ agonists as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of cerebral malaria. The current knowledge of PPARγ agonist use in malaria is summarized. Findings from experimental CNS injury and disease models that demonstrate the potential for PPARγ agonists as an adjunctive therapy for cerebral malaria are also discussed.
脑型疟疾是恶性疟原虫感染的严重并发症,即使采用高效抗疟治疗,死亡率仍很高。辅助治疗可以改变疟疾引起的病理生理过程,从而改善预后。本文重点关注过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ激动剂作为治疗脑型疟疾的辅助治疗的应用。本文总结了过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ激动剂在疟疾中的应用。还讨论了实验性中枢神经系统损伤和疾病模型中的发现,这些发现表明过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ激动剂作为脑型疟疾辅助治疗的潜力。
