Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria-related anaemia
TL;DR: This review focuses on recent advances in knowledge of the pathophysiology, epidemiology, management and prevention of anaemia from falciparum malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Etiology of anemia in pregnancy in south Malawi.
TL;DR: The role of chronic inflammation as a possible contributing factor to anemia in pregnancy has important implications for the clinical evaluation and treatment of women in sub-Saharan Africa as discussed by the authors, where the authors comprehensively assessed the full spectrum of nutritional and non-nutritional factors associated with pregnancy anemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of iron deficiency with and without concurrent anemia in population groups with high prevalences of malaria and other infections: a study in Côte d‘Ivoire
TL;DR: Iron deficiency was detected in approximately 50% of anemic women and children, which indicates that hemoglobin alone is not a good indicator of iron status when inflammatory disorders are highly prevalent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary mineral supplies in Africa
Edward J. M. Joy,E. Louise Ander,Scott D. Young,Colin R. Black,Michael J. Watts,Allan D. C. Chilimba,Benson Chilima,Edwin W.P. Siyame,Alexander A Kalimbira,Rachel Hurst,Susan J. Fairweather-Tait,Alexander J. Stein,Rosalind S. Gibson,Philip J. White,Martin R. Broadley +14 more
TL;DR: Dietary micronutrient deficiencies are widespread, yet their prevalence can be difficult to assess, and here, MND risks due to inadequate intakes for seven minerals in Africa are estimated using food supply and composition data, and the potential of food-based and agricultural interventions is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prevention of anaemia in pregnancy in primigravidae in the guinea savanna of Nigeria.
TL;DR: Prevention of malaria, without folic acid supplements, reduced the frequency of megaloblastic erythropoiesis from 56% to 25%.

Journal ArticleDOI
The Anaemia of P. falciparum Malaria
TL;DR: Findings indicate that the patho‐physiological mechanisms responsible for the anaemia of P. falciparum malaria are different at different stages of the illness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of giardiasis to abnormal intestinal structure and function in gastrointestinal immunodeficiency syndromes.
Marvin E. Ament,Cyrus E. Rubin +1 more
TL;DR: After eradication of Giardia lamblia in 7 patients, the abnormalities in villus structure returned towards normal in all and the variations in the severity of the small intestinal abnormalities within individual patients meant multiple small bowel biopsies were needed to evaluate the effects of treatment on mucosal morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxoplasmosis in the adult--an overview.
James A. Krick,Jack S. Remington +1 more
TL;DR: Toxoplasma gondii is clinically important in the adult for three major reasons: it may cause lymphadenopathy; as an opportunist, it maycause a lethal infection in the immunologically compromised host; and it is responsible for at least 3000 congenitally infected infants in the United States yearly, thus making correct interpretation of serologic tests in the woman who is pregnant (or thinking of becoming so) an urgent matter.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature and causes of "hookworm anemia".
Marcel Roche,Miguel Layrisse +1 more
TL;DR: A number of studies show that anemia can be significantly associated with the hookworm in a given infected group and what anemia results from this association is closely related to the background of iron intake of the subjects in whom it occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iron-deficiency anaemia and its effect on worker productivity and activity patterns.
TL;DR: The effects of iron-deficiency anaemia on workers productivity and the economic implications of increased work productively with iron treatment are evident, particularly in developing countries.
