Malaria is one of the most frequent causes of fever among travellers to tropical countries. We report the CT imaging findings of poor contrast enhancement of the spleen on arterial phase in a case of malaria presenting as splenomegaly. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of malarial spleen diagnosed by these CT results.
疟疾是前往热带国家的旅行者发热的最常见原因之一。我们报告了一例以脾肿大为表现的疟疾患者,其CT成像显示动脉期脾脏对比增强不佳。据我们所知,这是首例通过这些CT结果诊断出的疟疾脾脏病例报告。
