ABSTRACT
In Thai patients with acute P. falciparum malaria including cerebral cases, cell mediated immune functions were studied in vivo and in vitro. Initial cutaneous delayed reactions to phytohaemagglutinin and soluble protein antigens were negative in most cerebral malaria patients. No major alteration of the number of circulating T and B cells was observed. In lymphocytes cultures, proliferatives responses to lectins or protein antigens were generally found within normal ranges. This study shows a direct role of P. falciparum on the impairment of cell mediated immunity.
