von Willebrand factor in experimental malaria-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that parasite load together with malarial anemia, rather than alveolar leakage, might contribute to shortened survival in PbNK65-infected Vwf-/- mice. VWF deficiency is associated with early reticulocytosis following PbNK65 infection, which potentially explains the increase in parasite load. This article is protected by copyright.
