The article presents a correction to a published study evaluating the accumulation of Plasmodium vivax parasite in the human spleen and its interaction with immature reticulocytes. The study was prospective and based on analysis of samples from patients undergoing splenectomy. The research focused on understanding the mechanisms by which the parasite accumulates in the spleen during asymptomatic malaria. The study involved collaboration of multiple international research teams and institutions. The objective was to clarify the biological processes associated with parasite persistence in the body without symptom manifestation. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of malaria caused by P. vivax.
