Electrophoretic fractions of the serum proteins in malaria

ABSTRACT

Forty five cases of malaria, thirty cases of non-malarial pyrexia and twenty five normal controls were studied to find out quantitative differences of total serum proteins and its major electrophoretic fractions in different groups and to determine the level of humoral immunity. The results showed significant decrease in total serum proteins and increase in gamma globulins, thus, supporting the general belief that there is a correlation between immunity and malaria
