falciparum malaria

fal·cip·a·rum ma·lar·i·a

malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and characterized by malarial paroxysms of severe form that typically occur every 48 hours with acute cerebral, renal, or gastrointestinal manifestations in severe cases, chiefly caused by the large number of red blood cells affected and the tendency for such infected red blood cells to become sticky and clump, thus blocking capillaries.
See also: malarial knobs. Synonym(s): aestivoautumnal fever, falciparum fever, malignant tertian fever, malignant tertian malaria, pernicious malaria

falciparum malaria

The most dangerous form of MALARIA caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum . There is severe breakdown of red blood cells, sometimes with so much release of HAEMOGLOBIN that it appears in the urine (BLACKWATER FEVER). Falciparum malaria also features blockage of small blood vessels by parasite and toxic effects on the linings. The consequent damage to organs, including the brain, is a major danger.
