We report a case of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium malariae coinfection with associated failure of clinical response to artemether + lumefantrine therapy. This case highlights the need to consider co-infection in the setting of apparent treatment failure and the impact of mixed species infection upon host dynamics and clinical presentation. Recognition of malarial co-infection is clinically important for determining appropriate therapy and preventing disease sequelae.
我们报告了一例疟原虫和疟原虫疟原虫合并感染，与青蒿琥酯加咯萘啶治疗的临床反应失败有关。 该病例强调了在明显治疗失败的情况下需要考虑合并感染，以及混合物种感染对宿主动态和临床表现的影响。 对疟疾合并感染的认识在确定适当的治疗方法和预防疾病后遗症方面具有重要的临床意义。
