“…We are convinced that infection plays an important part in retarding the recovery of our patients and in the causation of a mild but persistent anaemia, as has already been suggested by Walt (1959). Although it is difficult to assess, we believe that the prophylactic penicillin and sulphonamides used in this trial were of no obvious benefit.…”

“…In 1954 an autopsy report by Edington [13] indicated that 4 Ghanaian children who died of cerebral malaria were well nourished. Other accounts from South Africa in 1960 [35] reported that malaria was rare in malnourished children. This was followed in 1967 by another qualitative report from Edington [36], who noted that children dying of cerebral malaria in Nigeria were usually well nourished and that cerebral malaria was rare in children with kwashiorkor.…”

Nutritional Modulation of Malaria Morbidity and Mortality

This review critically examines the relationship between nutritional status and malaria. The data indicate that protein-energy malnutrition is associated with greater malaria morbidity and mortality in humans. In addition, controlled trials of either vitamin A or zinc supplementation show that these nutrients can substantially reduce clinical malaria attacks. Data for iron indicate that supplementation may minimally aggravate certain malariometric indices in some settings and also strongly improve hematologic status. Withholding of iron supplements from deficient population is, therefore, not currently indicated. Available evidence for other nutrients describe varied effects, with some deficiencies being exacerbative (e.g., thiamine), protective (e.g., vitamin E), or both exacerbative and protective in different settings (e.g., riboflavin, vitamin C). The roles of folate, other B vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, and selenium are also examined. Study of the interactions between nutrition and malaria may provide insight to protective mechanisms and result in nutrient-based interventions as low-cost and effective adjuncts to current methods of malaria prevention and treatment.
