Polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocytes (PMN) from children with acute P. falciparum malaria significantly inhibited parasite growth in homologous and in non-immune sera. Phagocytosis of schizonts in vitro was observed. PMN from uninfected children and uninfected adults had no effect on parasite growth.
