Results Severe Thrombocytopenia

Results Severe Thrombocytopenia

Results 16 16

Severe vivax malaria - increase large number in non-endermic area; India - In patient with vivax malaria mortality rate was 28.2% Most prevalent severity sign reported was thrombocytopenia(26.1%) Discussion 17 17

% % Present 15.0% 18 One contributor to this discrepancy is the inclusion of thrombocytopenia as a severity criterion in recent series Prevalence of severe vivax in India 18

Unclear description of Chloroquine resistance except in the island of new Guinea, Indonesia Papua and Amazonas Discussion 19 19

Discussion Misdiagnosis caused by other febrile illness and co-infection Non endemic area Endemic area 20 20

Change in strain virulence Discussion Increase in reported cases No hard data available to support this hypothesis 21 21

Conclusion Increase in reported case of severe vivax in certain geographical region Cannot be explained with the current knowledge The use of thrombocytopenia as an independent severity criterion required justification 22 22
