Only registered users can translate articles

In the past 10-15 years there has been a continuous increase of imported cases of malaria in the Federal Republic of Germany. The case of a two-year-old child of a Turkish foreign worker with severe tertian malaria complicated by pulmonary edema is described. In general tertian malaria is rarely

Perforin Expression by CD8 T Cells Is Sufficient To Cause Fatal Brain Edema during Experimental Cerebral Malaria.

Only registered users can translate articles

Human cerebral malaria (HCM) is a serious complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection. The most severe outcomes for patients include coma, permanent neurological deficits, and death. Recently, a large-scale magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study in humans identified brain swelling as the most

Acute pulmonary edema in Plasmodium falciparum malaria.

Only registered users can translate articles

This report describes a patient who developed acute pulmonary edema as a complication of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Hemodynamic evaluation revealed a pulmonary artery wedge pressure of 3 mm Hg and a cardiac index of 4.6 liter per min per m2. The patient exhibited an acute decrease in serum

Rupture of spleen in a mechanically ventilated patient with falciparum malaria admitted with pulmonary edema.

Only registered users can translate articles

Rupture of the spleen in malaria may constitute a diagnostic challenge to many clinicians particularly in non-endemic areas where experience with malaria is limited. Our aim is to increase the awareness among clinicians from non-endemic areas of serious malarial complications. We present a young

In Vivo Tracking of Edema Development and Microvascular Pathology in a Model of Experimental Cerebral Malaria Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cerebral malaria is a sign of severe malarial disease and is often a harbinger of death. While aggressive management can be life-saving, the detection of cerebral malaria can be difficult. We present an experimental mouse model of cerebral malaria that shares multiple features of the human disease,

Isolated cerebellar edema and obstructive hydrocephalus in a child with cerebral malaria.

Only registered users can translate articles

An important complication of cerebral malaria is increased intracranial pressure which, when severe, is associated with high mortality or neurologic sequelae. We describe a 7-month-old child with cerebral malaria for whom cerebellar edema and obstructive hydrocephalus were initial radiologic

Amount of Brain Edema Correlates With Neurologic Recovery in Pediatric Cerebral Malaria.

Cerebral malaria (CM) remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in children in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent studies using brain magnetic resonance imaging have revealed increased brain volume as a major predictor of death. Similar morphometric predictors of morbidity at

Falciparum malaria in an overseas traveler complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation and pulmonary edema.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 24-year-old woman was infected with falciparum malaria during travel to Kenya, complicated by intravascular coagulation and pulmonary edema. She was successfully treated with anti-malarial drugs including chloroquine, quinine sulfate and pyrimethamine, with a combined regimen of heparin,

Case Report: A Case of Severe Cerebral Malaria Managed with Therapeutic Hypothermia and Other Modalities for Brain Edema.

Only registered users can translate articles

Malarial infections are uncommon in the United States and almost all reported cases stem from recent travelers coming from endemic countries. Cerebral malaria (CM) is a severe form of the disease usually affecting children and individuals with limited immunity. Despite proper management, mortality

Pulmonary edema due to Plasmodium vivax malaria in an American missionary.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pulmonary edema is a recognized complication of Plasmodium falciparum malaria but is uncommon with Plasmodium vivax infection. We report the case of a non-immune adult with imported P. vivax malaria who developed pulmonary edema during treatment. The case was further complicated by a recurrent

Electron microscopic features of brain edema in rodent cerebral malaria in relation to glial fibrillary acidic protein expression.

Only registered users can translate articles

The mechanisms leading to cerebral malaria (CM) are not completely understood. Brain edema has been suggested as having an important role in experimental CM. In this study, CBA/CaH mice were infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA blood-stage and when typical symptoms of CM developed on day 7, brain

[Fulminant pulmonary edema in falciparum malaria [corrected]].

METHODS A 54-year-old man was admitted because of intermittent fever for 2 days. Ten days earlier he had returned from Kenya. He had not taken any antimalarial drugs prophylactically. METHODS Initial blood smears showed Plasmodium falciparum in 10.4% of erythrocytes. Laboratory tests indicated

Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema and pulmonary fibrosis in falciparum malaria.

Only registered users can translate articles

Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema is an uncommon but serious complication of falciparum malaria. A case of fatal noncardiogenic pulmonary edema complicating falciparum malaria is presented in which the unfavorable outcome resulted from rapidly developing pulmonary fibrosis, documented through open-lung

Pulmonary edema in cerebral malaria patients in Thailand.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pulmonary edema is a serious complication of falciparum malaria that usually occurs in association with cerebral malaria, acute renal failure, high parasitemias, or delayed antimalarial treatment. From 1993 to 1996, 120 adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit of the Bangkok Hospital for
