Which type of malaria is associated with renal failure - 
Select and explain. 
A. Falciparum, B. Vivax, C. Malariae, D. Ovale
A: Falciparum
Answer: A: Falciparum 
Explanation: P.falciparum - The trophozoites usually disappear from peripheral circulation after about 24 hours. By then, a strain-specific high molecular weight antigen appears on the surface of the infected red cells, associated with knob-like projections on the erythrocyte membrane. Such red cells disappear from peripheral circulation and adhere to the walls of venules and capillaries in internal organs--brain, hea, kidney, lungs, spleen, intestine, bone marrow, placenta. This cytoadherence causes sequestration of infected red cells in, these sites and is responsible for many of the serious complications of falciparum malaria, such as cerebral malaria.
