[Considerations on a series of malaria cases].

Stress is laid on the seriousness of malaria and the causes of its unusual clinical pictures. Results obtained in the evaluation of G-6-PD, PK, intracellular K and globular resistance, in addition to other parameters, suggest (as pointed out in the literature) that altered cell metabolism may be the primary cause of haemolysis. Attention is also drawn to the lengthy persistance of gametes after gametocidal management in some patients, and the risks that this involves.
