TL;DR: Patients with severe falciparum malaria show extensive microvascular obstruction that is proportional to the severity of the disease, which underscores the prominent role that microVascular obstruction plays in the pathophysiology of severe malaria and illustrates the fundamental difference between the microv vascular pathophysiological of malaria and that of bacterial sepsis.

TL;DR: Higher daily doses of primaquine have the potential to cause clinically significant haemolysis in G6PD heterozygous females who are reported as phenotypically normal with current point of care tests.

TL;DR: Patients with a CAM score <2 at hospital admission may be safely treated in a general ward, provided that renal function can be monitored, and the model found that mortality increased steadily with increasing score.

TL;DR: The distribution and phenotypes of mutations causing G6PD deficiency in the male population of migrants and refugees in a malaria endemic region on the Thailand-Myanmar border were characterized in this article.

TL;DR: The coadministration of the two drugs did not affect chloroquine or desethylchloroquine pharmacokinetics but increased plasma primaquine concentrations significantly, which may explain previous observations of synergy in preventing P. vivax relapse.
