Episodes of delayed hemolysis 2-6 weeks after treatment of severe malaria with intravenous artesunate have been described. We performed a prospective observational study of patients with uncomplicated malaria to investigate whether posttreatment hemolysis also occurs after oral artemisinin-based combination therapy. Eight of 20 patients with uncomplicated malaria who were given oral artemisinin-based combination therapy met the definition of posttreatment hemolysis (low haptoglobin level and increased lactate dehydrogenase level on day 14). Five patients had hemolysis persisting for 1 month. Patients with posttreatment hemolysis had a median decrease in hemoglobin level of 1.3 g/dL (interquartile range 0.3-2.0 g/dL) in the posttreatment period, and patients without posttreatment hemolysis had a median increase of 0.3 g/dL (IQR -0.1 to 0.7 g/dL; p = 0.002). These findings indicate a need for increased vigilance for hemolytic events in malaria patients, particularly those with predisposing factors for anemia.
静脉注射青蒿琥酯治疗重症疟疾后2至6周出现延迟溶血的病例已有报道。我们对非复杂性疟疾患者进行了一项前瞻性观察研究,以调查基于青蒿素的联合口服疗法治疗后是否也会发生治疗后溶血。在接受基于青蒿素联合口服疗法的20例非复杂性疟疾患者中,有8例符合治疗后溶血的定义(第14天血清结合珠蛋白水平低且乳酸脱氢酶水平升高)。5例患者溶血持续1个月。治疗后发生溶血的患者在治疗后血红蛋白水平中位数下降1.3 g/dL(四分位间距0.3 - 2.0 g/dL),而未发生治疗后溶血的患者血红蛋白水平中位数升高0.3 g/dL(四分位间距 -0.1至0.7 g/dL;p = 0.002)。这些发现表明,需要提高对疟疾患者溶血事件的警惕性,尤其是那些有贫血易感因素的患者。
