Title
Alterations of human serum proteins and other biochemical parameters after five to ten days of untreated acute falciparum malaria
Untreated malaria for more than 4 days in eleven patients significantly decreased prealbumin, transferrin levels and increased SGOT activity when compared with a control group and a group of 10 malaria patients who were admitted to the hospital at an earlier stage of infection. Total protein was significantly lower in the group of patients admitted after five to ten days to hospital compared with the control group. In all malaria patients independent of the duration of the acute infection, the 1st post albumin peak in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (consisting mainly of Gc-globulin, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin and alpha-1 B-glycoprotein) and creatinine were found to be significantly higher compared with the control group.
