Severe falciparum malaria: An important cause of multiple organ failure in Indian intensive care unit patients

Abstract: Malaria is an important cause of multiple organ failure in India. Mortality rate is 6.4% when one or fewer organs fail but increases to 48.8% with failure of two or more organs. However, outcomes are better than for similar degrees of organ failure in sepsis.

“…In settings without mechanical ventilation, ARDS mortality was 81% in Rajasthan, India, and 100% in Vietnam (13) (14). Even with availability of mechanical ventilation, ARDS accounts for > 95% (70 of 74) in Krishnan and Karnad ICU series (16). In our study 6 patients died out of 8 patients showing a mortality of 75%.…”

“…En diferentes literaturas se ha descrito que las manifestaciones clínicas de la malaria complicada pueden aparecer aisladamente, pero es recuente que se combinen en un mismo paciente (2,19,20). En el estudio de Sahu et al (19), encontraron que la afectación de múltiples órganos era más común, siendo la disfunción renal con ictérica aguda las asociaciones más frecuentes seguidas de malaria cerebral, ictericia aguda y falla renal, Ictericia aguda, falla renal y síndrome de distress respiratorio.…”

“…9 The MODS is fatal in 10-49% of patients with malaria. 2,4,10,11 Early identification of patients at the highest risk of MODS and related complications would provide treating clinicians with opportunities to target those who could benefit from intensive or special care. Some factors that predict multiple organ involvement include parasite virulence, host immune status, infection with Plasmodium falciparum, and plasma concentration of histidine-rich protein (HRP)-2 antigen.…”
