Article Synopsis
  • A 52-year-old man was admitted to the ICU in septic shock from severe malaria after traveling to Ghana, with a high parasitaemia index of 50%.
  • He was treated with intravenous artesunate and dihydroartemisinin plus piperaquine, leading to rapid clinical improvement and a 0% parasitaemia level within 72 hours, but developed severe anaemia with hemoglobin dropping to 5.6 g/dL.
  • The anaemia was diagnosed as post-artesunate haemolytic anaemia (PDAH) due to high parasitaemia and treatment, treated with oral steroids, highlighting the need for awareness of PDAH in severe malaria cases for effective recovery.
