Abstract

Studying the plasmatic level and the phenotype of haptoglobine (Hp) in 71 West Africans living in France, the authors did not record any case of absence of Hp (Hpo) and did not see any significant correlation between the Hp and the duration of stay in France. They conclude that Plasmodium falciparum likely does not play any role in the origin of the Hpo peculiarity in West African immigrants.
