Malaria is endemic in India with the incidence of P. falciparum Malaria increasing gradually over the last decade. Severe malaria is an
acute disease, caused by P. falciparum, but increasingly also by P. vivax with major signs of organ dysfunction and/or high levels of
parasitaemia (>10%) in blood smear. Use of exchange transfusion with antimalarial drug therapy as an additional modality of treatment
in severe Falciparum malaria is controversial and is unclear. We report a case of severe malaria complicated by multiorgan failure and
ARDS. Patient responded well to manual exchange transfusion with standard artesunate-based chemotherapy. |
