Effects of Different Antimalarial Drugs on Gametocyte Carriage in P. Vivax Malaria
Sasithon Pukrittayakamee,Mallika Imwong,Pratap Singhasivanon,Kasia Stepniewska,Nicholas P. J. Day,Nicholas J. White +5 more
TL;DR: The gametocytocidal and asexual stage activities of eight antimalarial and eight antibiotic-containing regimens were evaluated in 349 adult patients with P. vivax malaria and sexual stage activities corresponded with a sexual stage activity for all tested regimens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of the coagulation cascade in falciparum malaria.
Sasithon Pukrittayakamee,Nicholas J. White,Nicholas J. White,Ralf Clemens,S Chittamas,H.E. Karges,Varunee Desakorn,Sornchai Looareesuwan,Danai Bunnag +8 more
TL;DR: Depletion of AT-III was associated with thrombocytopenia, decreased AT- III activity and elevated plasma concentrations of thrombin-antithrombin III complexes (P less than 0.01), confirming activation of the coagulation cascade and increased clotting factor consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serological and blood culture investigations of Nepalese fever patients

TL;DR: This study confirms the presence of leptospiral, rickettsial and dengue infections in Kathmandu as well as evidence for mixed infections with S. Typhi and Orientia tsutsugamushi or Rickettsia typhi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucose turnover in severe falciparum malaria
Timothy M. E. Davis,Sornchai Looareesuwan,Sasithon Pukrittayakamee,J.C. Levy,B. Nagachinta,Nicholas J. White +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that, as in other severe illnesses, glucose turnover is high in untreated patients, but that glycolysis by mature parasite forms may accelerate glucose disposal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ex-vivo short-term culture and developmental assessment of Plasmodium vivax
Kesinee Chotivanich,Kamolrat Silamut,Rachanee Udomsangpetch,Katarzyna A. Stepniewska,Katarzyna A. Stepniewska,Sasithon Pukrittayakamee,Sornchai Looareesuwan,Nicholas J. White,Nicholas J. White +8 more
TL;DR: A simple reproducible method for short-term ex-vivo Plasmodium vivax culture is presented in which glucose, ascorbic acid, thiamine, hypoxanthine, and 50% human AB+ serum are added to the standard P. falciparum in-vitro culture medium.
