چکیده
Background: Renal failure is a complication of severe malaria, and rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria is an uncommon cause. We report an unusual case of severe falciparum malaria with dengue coinfection complicated by acute renal failure and myoglobinemia, myoglobinuria but a normal creatine kinase (CK).

Severe falciparum malaria with dengue coinfection complicated by rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury: an unusual case with myoglobinemia, myoglobinuria but normal serum creatine kinase
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complication of severe malaria, and rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria is an uncommon cause. We report an unusual case of severe falciparum malaria with dengue coinfection complicated by AKI due to myoglobinemia and myoglobinuria while maintaining a normal creatine kinase (CK). CASE PRESENTATION A 49-year old Indonesian man presented with fever, chills...
متن کاملRhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure in Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
Sir, Acute renal failure is a common complication in malaria infection. This can be the result of multiple mechanisms [1]: hypovolaemia, excessive haemolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation or impaired microcirculation due to a high level of parasitized erythrocytes. Rhabdomyolysis is another uncommon way of inducing renal failure in malaria infection. The diagnosis is based on high ser...

Renal histology results are very scarce in dengue-associated rhabdomyolysis patients developing acute kidney injury (AKI). We report a case of dengue fever-induced AKI associated to rhabdomyolysis with a renal biopsy showing acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and renal deposition of myoglobin. A 28-year-old patient who presented dengue fever (DF) complicated by severe AKI and rhabdomyolysis is descri...
