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.

A retrospective chart review for all neonates admitted with suspected sepsis between January and July 2017 was conducted and noted four cases of NCM since routine malaria testing was introduced as part of standard of care for suspected sepsis at Mbale Regional Referral Hospital Neonatology Unit.

At the Mbale RRH-NNU, the finding of cases of NCM was not expected, therefore, neonates presenting with features of suspected sepsis in malaria endemic settings should be routinely screened for NCM.

In endemic areas, the management of splenic rupture in malaria should be focused on splenic preservation, thereby reducing the risk of future attacks of malaria in those patients who are highly susceptible to Plasmodium species and also reducing the incidence of overwhelming sepsis.
