Abstract

Introduction: MALARIA is a protozoal disease, transmitted to humans by female Anopheles mosquito bite. Plasmodium FALCIPARUM, compared to other kinds of Plasmodium, causes more severe MALARIA and is associated with a higher mortality rate. Annually, one to three million deaths occur due to MALARIA, especially by P. FALCIPARUM.Case Presentation: In this report, we introduce an Iranian patient suffering from P. FALCIPARUM. Peripheral blood smear for MALARIA parasites showed severe infection of P. FALCIPARUM, with 75 to 85 percent of red blood cells containing one to five parasites per cell. However, the patient revealed a fast response to treatment and a good PROGNOSIS, suggesting a high level of relative IMMUNITY in the patient. To confirm this hypothesis, we conducted a comparative study by comparing the rate of clinical response to treatment as well as the level of PROGNOSIS of our patient with similar patients from different regions around the world. These included some MALARIA cases (caused by P. FALCIPARUM) chosen from endemic and nonendemic regions, such as Africa, South Europe and Canada.Discussion: The findings revealed that generally, patients from endemic regions significantly show a greater response to treatment and also a better PROGNOSIS in comparison to the patients from nonendemic regions. These differences can plausibly be attributed to a high level of relative IMMUNITY in endemic regions. Consequently, we would strongly support the hypothesis that response to treatment and PROGNOSIS of MALARIA is a matter of patients’ living environment circumstances. In other words, people who live in endemic regions acquire a high relative IMMUNITY leading to a greater response to treatment and a better PROGNOSIS.
