Severe Malaria Complicated by G6PD Deficiency in a Pediatric Tanzanian Immigrant.

Approximately 1,500 cases of malaria are diagnosed in the United States each year. Most cases are travelers and immigrants returning from parts of the world where malaria transmission occurs. Malaria is the most frequent cause of systemic febrile illness without localizing symptoms in travelers returning from the developing world, so vigilance by providers is needed when evaluating patients returning from areas in which malaria is endemic. Despite the availability of effective treatment, malaria still accounts for more than 1 million deaths per year worldwide, with rates being disproportionately high in young children under the age of 5. We present the case of a 4-year-old refugee who emigrated from Tanzania with severe malaria due to dual infections of Plasmodium falciparum and P. ovale, whose treatment course was complicated by quinidine gluconate cardiotoxicity and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
