    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric infectious diseases
    • Malariology
    • Clinical tropical medicine

    Background:

    • Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains a significant pediatric health concern.
    • Understanding clinical presentations and treatment responses in children is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical features, treatment outcomes, and drug sensitivity of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in pediatric patients.
    • To identify common and rare clinical manifestations in children diagnosed with malaria.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of hematologically confirmed Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases.
    • Data collection included patient demographics, clinical symptoms, laboratory findings, and treatment regimens.
    • Evaluation of treatment response and drug resistance patterns.

    Main Results:

    • Fever was the predominant symptom (92.7%) in pediatric malaria cases.
    • Other observed symptoms included gastrointestinal, hepatic, central nervous system, and respiratory issues.
    • Anemia (36.4%) and hepatosplenomegaly were common; rare findings included polyarthritis and cerebellar features.
    • All patients responded to chloroquine or quinine, with no drug resistance or mortality recorded.

    Conclusions:

    • Plasmodium falciparum malaria in children can present with diverse symptoms beyond fever.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment with chloroquine or quinine are effective, with no observed drug resistance in this cohort.
    • Continued surveillance for malaria in pediatric populations is essential.
