| Summary |
Malaria continues to be a major health problem in many
parts of the world. Delay in treating malaria, especially
P. falciparum - the species of the parasite that is the
main cause of the severe forms of the disease - may result in
rapid deterioration in the patient s condition, together with the
development of a number of life-threatening complications.
This handbook is an updated edition of the Management of
Severe Malaria, providing new and revised practical guidance
on the diagnosis and management of severe malaria. After
outlining the general nursing care needed by these patients,
it considers in turn the possible complications, including
coma, convulsions, severe anaemia, hypogylcaemia, and
pulmonary oedema, and gives specific and concise
advice on their management. While intended
primarily for clinical professionals and other
responsible health staff for clinical professionals
and other centres with inpatients facilities in
malaria-endemic countries, it will also be of
practical use to physicians in non-endemic
areas, who are increasingly having to deal
with patients infected during visits to
malarious areas. |
