| description | Malaria is one of the most common protozoan diseases, especially in tropical countries. The clinical manifestation of malaria, especially
falciparum malaria varies from mild acute febrile illness to life threatening severe systemic complications involving one or more organ
systems. We would like to report a case of complicated falciparum malaria involving cerebral, renal, hepatic system along with acute
pancreatitis. The patient was successfully treated with anti malarial and other supportive treatment. To the best of our knowledge there are
very few reports of acute pancreatitis due to malaria. Falciparum malaria therefore should be added to the list of infectious agents causing
acute pancreatitis especially in areas where malaria is endemic. |
