• Morphologically similar to P malariae; may be mistaken to be P falciparum
• In Rhesus monkey studies
– High parasite densities is possible
– No significant sequestration in microcirculation
• In humans
– Reported in children and relatively older adults
– May present as a mild from of malaria easily responding to chloroquine but may also be severe and fatal
– Fever, headaches, intermittent chills, abdominal pain, sweating and malaise

Malaria RDTs
• HRP-2 – histidine-rich protein produced by asexual stages of P. falciparum
• pLDH – parasite lactate-dehydrogenase antigen produced by asexual and gametocytes of all human Plasmodium species
• Aldolase – enzyme in the glycolysis pathway of Plasmodium
Antigens detected byMalaria RDTs

WHO recommendations for malaria RDTs• Results should be at least as
accurate as results derived from microscopy performed by an average (trained) microscopist
• Minimum detectable parasite count by a proficient microscopist is 10 parasites/ul blood
• Sensitivity – 95% compared to microscopy – Detection of parasitemia of
100 parasites per ul blood* (or 0.002% parasitemia)

Monitoring drug resistance• THERAPEUTIC EFFICACY SURVEILLANCE or TES
– Standardized protocols developed by WHO wherein response is classified using clinical and parasitological criteria
– Gold standard for treatment guidelines– Limited by host immunity, prior treatment with antimalarials, and drug
pharmacokinetics/dynamics.
• IN VITRO TESTS– Parasites are allowed to mature in microplates pre-dosed with differing dilutions of
antimalarial drug– These tests provide baseline data and trends; forecast; precede in vivo resistance – HRP2 or pLDH, enzymes produced by the parasite can also be measured
• MOLECULAR MARKERS of drug resistance– P. falciparum – Chloroquine (pfcrt76), sulfadoxine (dhfr51, dhfr59, dhfr108), and pyrimethamine
(dhps436, dhps437, and dhps540), – Provide baseline data and trends– Correlation between mutations and in vivo/in vitro data

Plasmodium vivax relapses
• Are important sources of reinfection and transmission
• Relapses can occur weeks to years after the initial infection
• Risk of relapse of tropical strains is higher than temperate strains

Implications?1. Primaquine dose increased to 30 mg2. G-6-PD deficiency
– Estimations of prevalence• 5.5% in malaria endemic areas in the Philippines(Salazar NP, et
al., 1987)• 1.9% Philippine Newborn Screening Program (Silao CLT, et al.,
2009)• 2011- Palawan – ongoing survey among high school students
– Point-of-care issues• Screening in malaria endemic areas • Confirmation in nearest tertiary hospital with proper equipment
and trained staff

Summary
• Malaria is still a parasitic disease of public health importance in the Philippines• Epidemiology of malaria in the Philippines is changing
– Response to treatment (drug resistance)– Control of relapse – New species in humans
• Responsibilities of clinicians and public health physicians:– Suspected malaria cases must be confirmed (especially species)– Response to treatment (including anti-relapse treatment) must be
monitored during and after treatment– Malaria cases (and response to treatment) must be reported
