Grant Activity:
Improving microvascular dysfunction in falciparum malaria
Purpose:
Additional treatments are needed to reduce global malaria mortality. In hospitalised patients with falciparum malaria we will evaluate new methods of assessing blood vessel dysfunction in malaria. We will use these methods to conduct a trial of the safety and efficacy of sodium nitrite, a widely available drug with the potential to treat malaria by increasing nitric oxide and improving blood flow. Our results will inform the design of a larger study of sodium nitrite to treat severe malaria.
