Clinical Features and Mortality Associated with Severe Malaria in Adults in Southern Mauritania

Abstract: Severe malaria in adults is not well studied in Sahelian Africa. Clinical features and mortality associated with severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria in adult patients hospitalized in Kiffa, southern Mauritania, were analysed. Patients over 15 years old admitted for severe malaria between August 2016 and December 2019 were included in the present retrospective study. The World Health Organization (WHO) criteria were used to define severe malaria. The presenting clinical characteristics and outcome were compare… Show more

“…The limitations of the study include the exclusion of the contribution of P‐glycoprotein transporter on quinine disposition (due to lack of information on in vitro studies) as well as the inhibitory effect of 3‐hydroxyquinine metabolite on CYP3A4 activity. Nevertheless, the significant impacts of these two factors on quinine disposition are unlikely 16 . Because of the limited information on phenobarbital i.v.…”
