[Post-transfusion pernicious Plasmodium falciparum attack in a patient with renal insufficiency].

The authors report one case of transfusion induced falciparum cerebral malaria. Among the parasites responsible for transfusion malaria, Plasmodium falciparum is rarely implicated, but may be accompanied by serious complications. Different ways of artificial transmission of the parasites are reported. Clinical findings are few, so the examination of blood films is essential for diagnostic. The dangerous blood donor must be identified by immunofluorescent methods. The specific treatment is quinine for cerebral malaria or chloroquine in other cases.
