Abstract
Abstract: Falciparum malaria still represents the big obstacle to communities in Sub-Sahara African countries and more
concentrated efforts against COVID-19 pandemic, may influence the lives of millions of children in that malaria endemic area. Hyperuricemia associated with plasmodium falciparum infection reflects the density of parasitemia and it
may lead to kidney injury, resulting in low vitamin D production. Furthermore, hyperuricemia leads to high levels of
proinflammatory cytokines counting interferon γ-induced protein, which is invested vitamin D deficiency in the
development of Burkitt’s lymphoma. Experimental research is required.
