Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized comparative trial of three monospecific antivenoms for bites by the Malayan pit viper (Calloselasma rhodostoma) in southern Thailand: clinical and laboratory correlations.
David A. Warrell,David A. Warrell,David A. Warrell,Sornchai Looareesuwan,R.D.G. Theakston,Rodney E. Phillips,Rodney E. Phillips,Rodney E. Phillips,Pornthep Chanthavanich,Chaisin Viravan,Wichai Supanaranond,Juntra Karbwang,M. Ho,M. Ho,M. Ho,Ronald A. Hutton +15 more
TL;DR: Three monospecific antivenom for Malayan pit viper (MPV) (Calloselasma rhodostoma) were compared in Southern Thailand, where this species is the most common cause of snake bite morbidity, and the clinical efficacy of these antivenoms against local necrosis remains equivocal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Splenic Fc receptor function in host defense and anemia in acute Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
M. Ho,Nicholas J. White,Sornchai Looareesuwan,Yupaporn Wattanagoon,Szu-Hee Lee,Mark Walport,Danai Bunnag,Harinasuta T +7 more
TL;DR: The failure to increase Fc receptor-mediated red cell clearance in patients with high parasitemias suggests inadequate splenic phagocytic activity in the face of considerable antigenic challenge.
Journal Article
Plasmodium falciparum: inhibition/reversal of cytoadherence of Thai isolates to melanoma cells by local immune sera.
TL;DR: The results confirm the antibody mediated strain-specific nature of the inhibition of cytoadherence and stress the difficulty in selecting immune sera potentially useful for the immunotherapy of cerebral malaria patients in Thailand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatal Plasmodium falciparum Malaria after an Inadequate Response to Quinine Treatment
Sornchai Looareesuwan,Poonkasem Charoenpan,M. Ho,Nicholas J. White,Juntra Karbwang,Danai Bunnag,Harinasuta T +6 more
TL;DR: A 24-year-old man with severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria died after 77 h of treatment with full parenteral doses of quinine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of venom by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in patients bitten by snakes in Thailand.
Kamolrat Silamut,M. Ho,Sornchai Looareesuwan,Chaisin Viravan,Vanaporn Wuthiekanun,David A. Warrell +5 more
TL;DR: The ability of an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect venom was evaluated in 251 patients bitten by four of the commonest poisonous snakes in Thailand and the test was sensitive and specific even for specimens that had been collected and stored under suboptimal conditions.
