- A 29-year-old pregnant woman from Equatorial Guinea experienced severe malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum, leading to complications such as cerebral malaria and acute kidney injury (AKI), necessitating renal replacement therapy and a kidney biopsy.
- During her hospitalization, various tests confirmed her malaria diagnosis, and she was treated with antimalarial medications while experiencing significant symptoms including hypotension and haematological issues.
- The kidney biopsy revealed active tubulointerstitial nephritis, and after intensive dialysis, her kidney function improved, allowing for a successful cesarean delivery and subsequent recovery without deterioration in kidney health.*
