nauulol ang term)

Diagnostics: Blood film microscopy (remember may thick and thin smears pa?
tas nag iimagine ka ng banana, rosette)
o NON SEVERE MALARIA
Upon consultation/ administration
Daily for the next 3 days
Post treatment: days 7, 14, 21, 28
If patient develops fever: blood is examined in between
scheduled dates
o SEVERE MALARIA
Every 8-12 hours for the first 48 hours
Then, daily until (-) for asexual forms
Mne: in comparison sa non severe daily for 3 days
Then, days 7, 14, 21, 28
UNCOMPLICATED MALARIA (NON SEVERE MALARIA)
o High-grade fever
o Severe headache
o Chills and
o Drenching sweats
o Again fever: may be presenting sign in children
o Neonate: signs of neonatal sepsis
o (-) signs of severe malaria
o 1st objective : CURE THE INFECTION
o 2nd objective: prevent development and spread of antimalaria
resistance
SEVERE MALARIA

of organ systems
o MALARIA PARASITEMIA + any one of these:
Seizures, (recall MCC manifestation in children with severe
malaria)
Impaired consciousness (may present with drowsiness)
Prostration/ weakness
Poor urine output
Signs of pulmonary edema
Signs of DIC (commonly thrombocytopenia, most cases walang
bleeding)
Abnormal, spontaneous bleeding (mne ui same sila ni severe
dengue, at severe malaria pwedeng may ganito)
Signs of organ dysfunction (mne ui same sila ni severe dengue,
at severe malaria pwedeng may ganito)
Jaundice
Hyperparasitemia (>2% parasitized RBC)
Severe anemia (may present with pallor)
Metabolic abnormalities(acidosis ad hypoglycemia(pregnant and
induced))
Hemoglobinuria
o Young children and infants: inability to breast feed, eat/ drink, vomiting
and changes in sensorium
o Objective of treatment: PREVENT DEATH AND PREVENT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SEQUELA SECONDARY TO ORGAN DYSFUNCTION
MULTIDRUG RESISTANT P FALCIPARUM AND TREATMENT FAILURE
(tinatamad na ko i summarize :P) di to tinanong sa past evals natin pero for
the sake of boardsc eto..
o Drug resistance in malaria is defined as the ability of a parasite strain
to survive and/or multiply despite the administration and absorption of
a drug given in doses equal to or higher than those usually
recommended but within the limits of tolerance of the subject. This is
detected in vitro and vivo methods. This condition can be manifested
in vivo as failure to respond to a standard dose of antimalarial after
poor drug compliance has been ruled out. Treatment failure is
generally considered when a) there is recrudescence of asexual
parasitemia from the 48th hour after start of treatment; and/or b) no
parasite clearance of reduction. The objective of treatment is to cure
the infection and prevent the development of severe malaria; and
prevent the spread of drug resistant forms of the parasite.
