Symptoma

Plasmodium Ovale

And 5 weeks after the completion of treatment, he presented with fever and diagnosed as P. ovale infection. P. ovale infection is a rare cause of malaria and often shows delayed presentation due to its dormant liver stage as hypnozoites. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

No mixed infections were identified in which both species were present. [doi.org]

  • Laboratory Technician

    The current finding should serve as an alert to epidemiologists, clinicians and laboratory technicians in the possibility of finding P. ovale in Malaysia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Scleral Icterus

    Examination demonstrated scleral icterus, splenomegaly, and anemia. By peripheral blood smear, the patient was diagnosed with Plasmodium ovale. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Suggestibility

    The recent increase in the number of people travelling to regions where P. ovale is endemic, suggests that a PCR-based protocol should be included as a complementary tool for malaria reference laboratories. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Renal Injury

    This is by far the first reported case of P. ovale infection with acute renal injury. In case B, the patient suffered renal injury a few days before he came down with nosocomial sepsis. [link.springer.com]

A sepsis workup was performed including blood- and urine culture, and a microscopic examination of the urine sediment. Because of maternal malaria infection, malaria screening of the neonate was included. [pediatric-infectious-disease.imedpub.com]

  • Lymphocytopenia

    Laboratory tests showed anaemia (haemoglobin 11.4 g/dl), severe thrombocytopaenia (platelets 30 10(9)/mm(3)), leukopenia (3650/mm(3)), lymphocytopenia (650/mm(3)). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

According to the hospital's malaria treatment guidelines for severe malaria, treatment consisted of intravenous quinine at hour 0 (start of treatment) and 24 h after initial treatment, followed by artemether-lumefantrine 24 h later. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In conclusion, P. ovale should be considered as an etiology in the imported malaria in Korea, because the number of travelers to P. ovale endemic regions has recently increased. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Manifestation code identifies conditions for which it is important to record both the etiology and the symptom of the disease. [books.google.es]

The epidemiology of mixed infections, likely pathophysiology of his presentation, and the implications for malaria testing and treatment in returned travellers are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The pathophysiology of P. falciparum as the leading cause of severe malaria has been examined extensively. [malariajournal.biomedcentral.com]

However, it remains possible that localised geographic, temporal or ecological barriers exist within endemic countries which prevent recombination between the genomes of the two species. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
