abstract = "Acute P. falciparum malaria is associated with loss of in vitro T cell responsiveness to antigenic stimulation, and with high plasma levels of soluble interleukin 2 receptor (IL 2R). In the present study peripheral T cells from acute P. falciparum malaria patients from a malaria-endemic area of Sudan were analyzed for expression of cell surface antigens associated with T lymphocyte adhesion, activation and maturation. The results were compared to results from T cells obtained from the same donors either before the attack, or during convalescence. Most donors showed a remarkable loss of T cells with high expression of the surface marker LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) during the clinical episode, in addition to the functional changes described above. Two donors that did not show phenotypic changes were furthermore characterized by having an unabated proliferative response and normal plasma IL 2R levels. All peripheral CD3+ T lymphocytes expressed LFA-1, which had a clearly bimodal distribution on these cells. The T cell subpopulation having high LFA-1 expression (LFA-1++) was composed of both memory and unprimed T cells, according to their expression of CD45RA and CD45R0. Analysis of expression of membrane-bound IL 2R (CD25) and ICAM-1 (CD54) did not reveal in vivo activated T cells in the peripheral blood of the patients. Taken together, these data suggest that circulating T cells recognizing parasite antigens are temporarily withdrawn from peripheral circulation during P. falciparum malaria.",
