Cerebral malaria is one of the most severe complications of human infection by the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Kessler et al. (2017) provide valuable insights into the diagnosis and pathogenesis of this poorly understood manifestation of malaria.
脑型疟疾是人感染恶性疟原虫后最严重的并发症之一。在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》中,Kessler 等人(2017 年)深入探讨了这种人们对其发病机制尚不完全了解的疟疾表现的诊断和发病机制,提供了宝贵的见解。
