MALARIA Incidence  200 to 300 million worldwide  1 to 2 million deaths Resurgence  Resistance of anopheline vector to DDT  Increasing resistance of PI. Falciparum to chloroquine & other drugs Incidence  200 to 300 million worldwide  1 to 2 million deaths Resurgence  Resistance of anopheline vector to DDT  Increasing resistance of PI. Falciparum to chloroquine & other drugs

TYPES OF RESISTANCE IN MALARIA  SSensitive. Parasite clearance in 7 days no recurrence in 28 days  R 1 Parasite clearance in 7 days. Recurrence in 28 days  R 2 > 75% clearance in 48 hrs. Recurrence in 7 days  R 3 < 75% clearance in 48 hrs. Recurrence in 7 days  SSensitive. Parasite clearance in 7 days no recurrence in 28 days  R 1 Parasite clearance in 7 days. Recurrence in 28 days  R 2 > 75% clearance in 48 hrs. Recurrence in 7 days  R 3 < 75% clearance in 48 hrs. Recurrence in 7 days

DISTRIBUTION OF RESISTANCE IN INDIA R 3 seen in Assam, Gujarat, Orissa & Rajasthan

MALARIA  Staining & identification  Giemsa’s stain preferable to Wright’s stain thick smears about 20 times more sensitive than thin smears because red cells have been lysed (in thick smear identification of species is difficult.)  Effect of parasite on red cell size or positive of parasite within RBC cannot be judged  Hence thin smear is for species identification of the parasite and thick smear is for the presence of the parasite  Staining & identification  Giemsa’s stain preferable to Wright’s stain thick smears about 20 times more sensitive than thin smears because red cells have been lysed (in thick smear identification of species is difficult.)  Effect of parasite on red cell size or positive of parasite within RBC cannot be judged  Hence thin smear is for species identification of the parasite and thick smear is for the presence of the parasite

 Gametocytes take 7 to 10 days to develop and hence to rely on the type of gametocyte to diagnose the species of malaria is not advisable  Gametocytes frequently present in blood of semi-immune residents in an endemic area  Double infection with PI. Vivax & PI. Falciparum common  Parasitized red cells are lighter than non parasitized cells and hence on centrifuging a sample of blood in a capillary tube parasitized cells are seen just below the buffy coat  DNA probes have also been used  Gametocytes take 7 to 10 days to develop and hence to rely on the type of gametocyte to diagnose the species of malaria is not advisable  Gametocytes frequently present in blood of semi-immune residents in an endemic area  Double infection with PI. Vivax & PI. Falciparum common  Parasitized red cells are lighter than non parasitized cells and hence on centrifuging a sample of blood in a capillary tube parasitized cells are seen just below the buffy coat  DNA probes have also been used

MORTALITY IN MALARIA  Vivax malaria  Rupture of spleen, immunocompromised state, repeated attacks in malnourished patient  Falciparum malaria  Pathogenesis budding, rosette formation, cytoadherence and sequestration  Cerebral malaria, renal involvement, hepatic involvement, pulmonary involvement, severe anemia, shock, hyperthermia, gram negative sepsis, pregnancy, metabolic acidosis, more than 3% parasitemia, DIC, severe vomiting and diarrhoea, infants and non immune subjects  Presence of trophozoites and schizonts in peripheral blood smear  Vivax malaria  Rupture of spleen, immunocompromised state, repeated attacks in malnourished patient  Falciparum malaria  Pathogenesis budding, rosette formation, cytoadherence and sequestration  Cerebral malaria, renal involvement, hepatic involvement, pulmonary involvement, severe anemia, shock, hyperthermia, gram negative sepsis, pregnancy, metabolic acidosis, more than 3% parasitemia, DIC, severe vomiting and diarrhoea, infants and non immune subjects  Presence of trophozoites and schizonts in peripheral blood smear

CYTOKINES  TNF alpha increased in severe falciparum malaria  Good correlation of increased TNF alpha levels with incidence of cerebral malaria, pulmonary involvement and sepsis  TNF alpha increased in severe falciparum malaria  Good correlation of increased TNF alpha levels with incidence of cerebral malaria, pulmonary involvement and sepsis

ANTIMALARIA DRUGS  Chloroquine – Amodiaquine  Quinine & Quinidine  Sulphonamides & Pyrimethamine  Primaquine  Tetracycline, Doxycycline, Clindamycin, Azithromycin & Quinolones  Chloroquine – Amodiaquine  Quinine & Quinidine  Sulphonamides & Pyrimethamine  Primaquine  Tetracycline, Doxycycline, Clindamycin, Azithromycin & Quinolones  Proguanil  Halofantrine & Mefloquine  Artemisinin  Atovaquone  Benflumentol / Hydroxypiperaquine  Desferixoamine  Proguanil  Halofantrine & Mefloquine  Artemisinin  Atovaquone  Benflumentol / Hydroxypiperaquine  Desferixoamine

PRECAUTIONS  Prolonged QT  Mefloquine  Quinine / Quinidine  Halofantrine  Hypokaemia due to vomiting – dangerous arrhythmias including Torsade Prolonged QT also seen in B 1 deficiency (vomiting in 1 st trimester)  Prolonged QT  Mefloquine  Quinine / Quinidine  Halofantrine  Hypokaemia due to vomiting – dangerous arrhythmias including Torsade Prolonged QT also seen in B 1 deficiency (vomiting in 1 st trimester)

Artemisin  Action rapid  Prevents parasite development  Prevents rosetting cytoadherance and sequestration  Reduction in gametocyte counts Atovoquone  Against MDR falciparum  High recrudescense rate rapid resistance  Combination with tetracycline / proguanil prevents the problem Artemisin  Action rapid  Prevents parasite development  Prevents rosetting cytoadherance and sequestration  Reduction in gametocyte counts Atovoquone  Against MDR falciparum  High recrudescense rate rapid resistance  Combination with tetracycline / proguanil prevents the problem

TETRACYCLINES, CLINDAMYCIN & COTRIMAXAZOLE  Limited antimalarial activity  Two slow when used alone  Usually with quinine, mefloquine etc.  Limited antimalarial activity  Two slow when used alone  Usually with quinine, mefloquine etc.

DESFERRIOXAMINE  In uncomplicated falciparum  Decrease in duration of coma & parasite  Clearance time when added to quinine  Acts by deprivation of iron to the parasite and also as a free oxygen radical scavenger  In uncomplicated falciparum  Decrease in duration of coma & parasite  Clearance time when added to quinine  Acts by deprivation of iron to the parasite and also as a free oxygen radical scavenger

 Vaccine immunity is species specific and stage specific  Sporozoite vaccine to prevent infection & development of liver stages  Vaccines against asexual stages to block transmission  Vaccine immunity is species specific and stage specific  Sporozoite vaccine to prevent infection & development of liver stages  Vaccines against asexual stages to block transmission

THE FUTURE  Mother nature gave us the cinchona alkaloids and Qing Hao Su  World war II led to the discovery of Chloroquine, Chloroguanide, Amodiaquine and Pyrimethamine  The Vietnam war brought Mefloquine and Halofantine  Little pharmaceutical industry interest are low. Much of the malaria occurs in the developing countries.  Do we need another world war for developing newer antimalarials ? Even now malaria is a challenging problem and this may get out of control in the next millenium  Mother nature gave us the cinchona alkaloids and Qing Hao Su  World war II led to the discovery of Chloroquine, Chloroguanide, Amodiaquine and Pyrimethamine  The Vietnam war brought Mefloquine and Halofantine  Little pharmaceutical industry interest are low.
