CORRESPONDENCE

ability of mononuclear cells from healthy individuals not exposed to malaria to generate nitric oxide is very low (Weinbere et al.. 1995: Blood. 86. 1184). As nitrate in the serum"is a reflection of the total nitrate pool, without any indication of its origin, it is possible that serum nitrate in cerebral malaria has a different cellular origin from that observed among healthy or asymptomatic parasitaemic children in endemic areas.
