Malaria

A life-threatening parasitic disease caused by <i>Plasmodium</i> (<i>P. </i>) parasites that are transmitted by <i>Anophles</i> mosquito bites to humans and is typically clinically characterized by attacks of fever, headache, chills and vomiting.

From the criteria described in medical literature to define critical malaria, the patient fulfilled the following: acute renal failure, ARDS, metabolic acidosis, altered level of consciousness, macroscopic hemoglobinuria, hyperparasitism and hyperbilirubinemia, related to a lethality rate of over 10%, depending on early treatment and available resources.

According to the World Health Organization's criteria, the recognition of one or more of the following clinical features should raise the suspicion of severe malaria: cerebral malaria (unrousable coma), severe anemia (hemoglobin <5 g/dL), renal failure (serum creatinine >3 mg/dL), pulmonary edema or adult respiratory distress syndrome, hypoglycemia (glucose <40 mg/dL), circulatory collapse or shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, repeated generalized convulsions, acidosis (pH <7.25), macroscopic hemoglobinuria, hyperparasitemia (>5 percent of the erythrocytes infested by parasites), or jaundice (bilirubin >3 mg/dL).
