Malaria caused by Plasmodium parasites is a major public health problem in tropical zones including Africa, South and
Central America, and Asia, where it is most prevalent, with estimates of 216 million cases and 655,000 deaths. More than
85% of malaria cases and 90% of malaria deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, mainly in young children [1]. Causes
of death in malaria have been reported including cerebral malaria, acute hemolysis and severe anemia, and vital organ
damage and failure [2]. For organ damage,malaria-associated renal injury occurs in between 1 and 4% of hospitalized
patients with a mortality that can reach up to 45% [3]. The pathogenesis of malaria-associated renal injury is multi factorial and not well characterized, but several hypotheses suggest involvement of cytoadherence of parasitized erythrocytes. effect of neem extract on renal damage induced by malaria infection has not yet been reported. Hence, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible protective effect of aqueous crude extract of neem leaves on P. berghei-induced renal damage inmice. Recent studies suggest that proinflammatory response,oxidative injury, and apoptosis probably explain part of this injury [4, 5].
