Dr. Nitesh Karnire, Dr. Ravi Vaswani
Abstract :
Malaria is an endemic disease in Mangalore. Malaria resistant to chloroquine and artesunate is seen in endemic areas. We present a case of a 58–year old resident of Ullal (Mangalore Taluk ) who had mixed malaria (vivax and falciparum) resistant to chloroquine, artesunate, arteether, mefloquine, quinine, clindamycin and doxycycline. The patient had undergone splenectomy some years earlier due to hereditary spherocytosis. Despite appropriate multi–drug regimen, parasitemia persisted. Parasite clearance was delayed and he eventually succumbed to the overwhelming disease.
