ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, a method is provided for treating ischemia resulting from microvascular compromise caused by abnormal cells in the blood stream, which is often a complication of malaria and leukemia. The method is especially useful for treating cerebral malaria. The method comprises administering to an animal or human with the microvascular compromise a therapeutically effective amount of a surface active copolymer with the following general formula:
