Plasma Concentrations of Parasite Histidine-Rich Protein 2 Distinguish Between Retinopathy-Positive and Retinopathy-Negative Cerebral Malaria in Malawian Children

Abstract

Elevated plasma pHRP2 concentrations can identify Malawian children with histologically confirmed or retinopathy-positive CM and is a more field-friendly approach to confirming the diagnosis than post mortem sampling or ophthalmoscopy.
