Association of severe malaria outcomes with platelet-mediated clumping and adhesion to a novel host receptor.
<h4>Introduction</h4>Severe malaria has been attributed partly to the sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (IEs) in the microvasculature of vital host organs. Identification of P. falciparum cytoadherence phenotypes that are associated with severe malaria may lead...
