Placental Microparticles and MicroRNAs in Pregnant Women with Plasmodium falciparum or HIV Infection

Abstract

In summary, alterations in total and trophoblast microparticles associated with malaria and HIV in pregnant women may have an immunopathogenic role. The potential for placental-derived vesicles and microRNAs as biomarkers of adverse outcomes during pregnancy and malaria infection should be confirmed in future studies.
