Despite recent advancements in diagnostic and treatment modalities, malaria is still one of the most prevalent human diseases with high mortality and morbidity. We described a case of 45 years old man with Plasmodium falciparum malaria primarily presenting with myocarditis. The possibility of malaria was Subsequently considered when he developed fever followed by signs of cerebral involvement. This happens to be a distinctly unusual presentation and we highlighted various features of this case. Thus in hyperendemic areas complicated Plasomdium falciparum malaria may present initially With atypical features and high index of suspicion may lead to prompt early aggressive antimalarial therapy and reduce the complications.
尽管近期在诊断和治疗方式上取得了进展,但疟疾仍然是最普遍的人类疾病之一,具有高死亡率和高发病率。我们描述了一例45岁男性,患有恶性疟原虫疟疾,主要表现为心肌炎。当他出现发热,随后出现脑部受累迹象时,随后考虑了疟疾的可能性。这是一种明显不寻常的表现,我们强调了该病例的各种特征。因此,在高度流行地区,复杂的恶性疟原虫疟疾最初可能表现为非典型特征,高度怀疑可能导致及时进行早期积极的抗疟治疗并减少并发症。
