Although malaria is endemic in India, congenital malaria is not very common. Congenital malaria is a very rare condition in both endemic and nonendemic areas. We report a case of congenital malaria in a six-day-old neonate with fever and splenomegaly. The diagnosis was picked up accidentally on a peripheral smear examination. Congenital malaria should be kept as differential diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. Timely detection of this condition could lead to early diagnosis and treatment, thereby preventing neonatal mortality.
尽管疟疾在印度是地方病,但先天性疟疾并不常见。先天性疟疾在地方病流行区和非流行区都是非常罕见的病症。我们报告一例6日龄新生儿先天性疟疾病例,该患儿伴有发热和脾肿大。诊断是在外周血涂片检查时偶然发现的。先天性疟疾应作为新生儿败血症的鉴别诊断。及时发现这种病症可实现早期诊断和治疗,从而预防新生儿死亡。
