Low C3 levels were found in the sera of most children with acute malaria. C4 and C1q levels were very low whilst glycine-rich β-glycoprotein (GBG) levels were only slightly depressed, suggesting that complement activation was occurring via the classical pathway. It is suggested that complement activation may play a part in initiating the complex series of changes that leads to the vascular damage seen in this infection.
在大多数急性疟疾患儿的血清中发现C3水平较低。C4和C1q水平非常低,而富含甘氨酸的β-糖蛋白(GBG)水平仅略有下降,这表明补体激活是通过经典途径发生的。有人认为,补体激活可能在引发导致这种感染中所见血管损伤的一系列复杂变化中起作用。
