Descripción :	Malaria-related deaths could be prevented if powerful diagnostic and reliable prognostic biomarkers were available to allow rapid prediction of the clinical severity allowing adequate treatment. Using quantitative ELISA, we assessed the plasma concentrations of Procalcitonin, Pentraxine-3, Ang-2, sTie-2, suPAR, sEPCR and sICAM-1 in a cohort of Beninese children with malaria to investigate their potential association with clinical manifestations of malaria. We found that all molecules showed higher levels in children with severe or cerebral malaria compared to those with uncomplicated malaria (p-value < 0.005). Plasma concentrations of Pentraxine-3, Procalcitonin, Ang-2 and the soluble receptors were significantly higher in children with coma as defined by a Blantyre Coma Score < 3 (p < 0.001 for Pentraxine-3, suPAR, and sTie-2, p = 0.004 for PCT, p = 0.005 for sICAM-1, p = 0.04 for Ang-2). Moreover, except for the PCT level, the concentrations of Pentraxine-3, suPAR, sEPCR, sICAM-1, sTie-2 and Ang-2 were higher among children who died from severe malaria compared to those who survived (p = 0.037, p = 0.035, p < 0.0001, p= 0.0008, p = 0.01 and p = 0.02, respectively). These findings indicate the ability of these molecules to accurately discriminate among clinical manifestations of malaria, thus, they might be potentially useful for the early prognostic of severe and fatal malaria, and to improve management of severe cases.
