Falciparum malaria affect all ages with multiple-systemic complications which varies in different age group. We studied 242 children with complicated Falciparum malaria with a median age of 6.5 years to look for occurrence of different complications in younger and older age groups and overall mortality picture.

Infection, 2019
Malaria represents a medical emergency. Without rapid diagnosis and treatment, it can progress and lead to severe complications and, eventually, death. Severe malaria is almost always caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Here, we present an image showing a set of hematological findings associated with severe malaria, highlighting the importance of a ...

Severe Malaria: Metabolic Complications
Current Molecular Medicine, 2006Metabolic complications of severe malaria are some of the most important and potentially treatable manifestations of this deadly disease. The commonest metabolic complications (lactic acidosis and hypoglycaemia) arise from increased host anaerobic metabolism probably due to a mismatch between tissue oxygen supply and requirement.

Severe hyponatraemia in malaria
Journal of Infection, 1991We report a case of severe hyponatraemia and hypoglycaemia in a patient with complicated falciparum malaria. The use of large volumes of intravenous dextrose as a diluent for quinine may lead to fluid overload and exacerbate hyponatraemia.

Severe Malaria and Academic Achievement
Pediatrics, 2023BACKGROUND Cerebral malaria (CM) and severe malarial anemia (SMA) are associated with neurocognitive impairment in childhood but their effects on long-term academic achievement are not known. METHODS Ugandan children 5 to 12 years old who ...

Falciparum malaria parasitemia index for predicting severe malaria
International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, 2012SummaryIntroduction: While hyperparasitemia is considered an important indicator for the development of severe malaria, there is currently no consensus on the quantitative definition of hyperparasitemia. This study was conducted to establish a cutoff point for peripheral parasitemia among patients with Plasmodium falciparum malaria, to define severe ...

La Revue du praticien, 1998
Falciparum malaria remains a major killer in developing countries, particularly for African children. The sequestration of parasitized erythrocytes in the deep microvasculature is mostly mediated by their cytoadherence to activated endothelium. Proinflammatory cytokines and particularly tumor necrosis factor contribute to severe disease but the ...

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2004
Prompt diagnosis and early institution of therapy is an important determinant of outcome in severe falciparum malaria. Thick smears are the gold standard for diagnosis; in situations where reliable microscopy is not available, tests based on HRP-2 antigen/parasite LDH are useful. As there is widespread resistance to chloroquine in P falciparum in India,

Severe falciparum malaria (21 cases)
Intensive Care Medicine, 1991The incidence of severe falciparum malaria is increasing in the developed countries and mortality remains high despite progress in intensive care management and schizonticide treatment. Many authors emphasize the importance of exchange transfusion (EXT) in the most severe cases.
