Malaria Infection in Diabetic Patients: Immunological Interactions and Clinical Outcomes in Nigeria (www.kiu.ac.ug)

Malaria and diabetes are two major health challenges in Nigeria, with malaria being a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and diabetes rapidly emerging as a significant non-communicable disease. The coexistence of these two conditions presents a complex healthcare challenge, especially in malaria-endemic regions like Nigeria. This review explores the immunological interactions between malaria infection and diabetes, focusing on how diabetes influences the immune response, clinical progression, and outcomes of malaria. Diabetes, particularly when poorly managed, impairs immune function, i…
