The human immune system's response to an infection by Plasmodium falciparum relies heavily on secondary lymphoid tissues. Past exploration has connected intense falciparum jungle fever to massive changes in the cell resistant framework, remembering a decline for the recurrence and outright number of coursing Lymphocyte subsets. T cell temporary relocation, possibly through infiltration into secondary lymphoid tissue, or permanent loss through apoptosis is two possible explanations for this observation. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that lymphocytes are relocated to lymphoid tissues during acute infection and to determine the phenotype of lymphocyte subsets that accumulate in the lymph node and spleen during the acute stages of falciparum malaria infection in Malawian children.
The global burden of malaria remains high, with Plasmodium falciparum malaria expected to cause 241 million clinical cases and 627,000 deaths in 2020 despite significant progress in case reduction and mortality reduction. Malaria falciparum can manifest as either a severe or uncomplicated infection (UM). The latter includes other complications, including severe malarial anemia (SMA), cerebral malaria (CM), and some overlap. The worst outcome is CM, which causes the most deaths and a wide range of neurological complications in survivors.
The various clinical types of severe malaria are caused by a combination of host and parasite factors, including high inflammation and the sequestration of infected red blood cells (iRBCs) onto the vascular endothelium, which is followed by an inflammatory response that causes end-organ damage [1-3]. The pathogenesis of the various clinical types of severe malaria is unknown. Natural protective immunity against malaria takes years to develop, even in areas where there is a high rate of transmission and despite frequent exposure to the parasite. Age, genetics, pregnancy, nutritional status, and co-infections all influence this immunity, which is stage- and parasite-specific. This acquired immunity may quickly wane with reduced exposure, potentially increasing the likelihood of developing more severe forms of the disease. While it has been demonstrated that vaccines are the most reliable, cost-effective, and effective means of limiting the burden and spread of many infectious diseases, malaria has not been a case in point. The most promising malaria vaccine candidate, RTS, S/AS01, was approved in 2015 for pilot implementation in three African nations, including Malawi. A better understanding of naturally acquired immune responses to the various stages of the parasite, including transmissible stages, could be crucial in forming effective vaccine designs as the search for a robust and effective malaria vaccine continues.
T and B cells were found to be depleted from the spleen's marginal zone during a malaria infection in murine models, but the same cells were found to be increased in the red pulp. This conclusion was supported by a postmortem examination of adult Vietnamese malaria victims infected with P. falciparum. With a distinct dissolution of the splenic marginal zones and a significant loss of B cells, this cohort's spleen architecture was altered. In the host immune response to malaria, T and B cells migrate to various lymph node segments, where they interact with antigen-carrying APCs and undergo clonal expansion [4,5].
As evidenced by lower frequencies and absolute numbers of T cells in the peripheral circulation, our group and others have previously demonstrated that acute falciparum malaria is associated with significant disruptions of the cellular immune system. T cell temporary relocation, possibly through infiltration into secondary lymphoid tissue, and T cell permanent loss through apoptosis are the two most common explanations for this observation.
