Complicated malaria and a covert ruptured spleen: a case report
Spontaneous splenic rupture in complicated malaria is an uncommon cause of hemoperitoneum in the tropics. The exact incidence of splenic rupture is unknown, largely due to under-reporting, but has been estimated at ∼2%. Its pathophysiology is linked to the formation of a subcapsular hematoma. Upon rupture, patients present with features of shock and peritonitis and in most cases (95%), computed...
متن کاملVivax malaria complicated by myocarditis.
Plasmodium infection (mainly p. falciparum) is usually complicated by cerebral malaria, haemolysis, acute kidney injury and respiratory distress. Myocardial involvement is a rare complication of plasmodium infection. We have reported a case of plasmodium infection (p. vivax) complicated by myocarditis.
متن کاملMultiple-organ dysfunction in a case of Plasmodium vivax malaria.
Previously considered benign, Plasmodium vivax malaria infection is now increasingly being recognised as a cause of severe and complicated malaria1. We present a case of an 11-yr-old male child, who developed multiple organ dysfunction in the form of oliguric acute renal failure, hepatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding with shock, bacterial peritonitis along with severe anaemia and thrombo cytopen...
متن کاملPlasmodium vivax Malaria
We report 11 cases of severe Plasmodium vivax malaria in Bikaner (western India). Patients exhibited cerebral malaria, renal failure, circulatory collapse, severe anemia, hemoglobinurea, abnormal bleeding, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and jaundice. Peripheral blood microscopy, parasite antigen-based assays, and parasite 18s rRNA gene-based polymerase chain reaction showed the presence o...
متن کاملPlasmodium vivax cerebral malaria.
We report two cases of Plasmodium vivax malaria (both aged 12 years) complicated by seizures and symptoms of diffuse meningoencephalitis. One had predominantly meningeal signs while in the other, purely encephalitis features were present. Both cases were treated with artesunate. Rarely, cerebral malaria is a presenting complication or occurs during the course of P. vivax infection.
