Atypical pulmonary malaria.

P D Cayea, E Rubin, H S Teixidor

    AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
    |July 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pulmonary malaria, often severe, can present mildly with subtle lung changes. Recognizing these varied radiologic signs is key to diagnosing this potentially common complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Pulmonary malaria is typically a severe and fatal complication of malaria infection.
    • Radiological manifestations of pulmonary malaria are not well-defined, leading to diagnostic challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present atypical cases of pulmonary malaria with subtle radiological findings.
    • To broaden the understanding of the clinical and radiologic spectrum of pulmonary malaria.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series presentation of three patients with pulmonary malaria.
    • Radiological analysis including interlobular septal thickening, interstitial edema, and pleural effusion.

    Main Results:

    • Three mild cases of pulmonary malaria were observed.
    • Radiological findings included subtle interlobular septal thickening, interstitial edema, and pleural effusion.
    • All cases resolved completely with antimalarial treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Pulmonary malaria may present with a wider spectrum of clinical and radiological findings than previously recognized.
    • A high index of suspicion and awareness of diverse manifestations are crucial for radiologists to diagnose pulmonary malaria.
    • Mild presentations suggest pulmonary malaria might be more common than reported.
