Article Description

Haematological studies in a group of Gambian children with severe anaemia due to Plasmodium falciparum malaria revealed marked dyserythropoietic changes in erythroblasts and evidence of increased ineffective erythropoiesis. In some cases, the bone marrow also showed a few giant metamyelocytes and ring sideroblasts. The results of deoxyuridine suppression tests indicated that these haematological disturbances were not a consequence of vitamin B 12 or folate deficiency within marrow cells.
