Ocular lesions, including retinal hemorrhages and panuveitis, can occur in malaria patients. Unexplained retinal hemorrhages may indicate malarial infection, especially in endemic areas.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Clinical and histopathologic descriptions of ocular lesions in malaria are infrequent.
  • This study investigates ocular manifestations in three malaria patients.

Observation:

  • Patient 1 presented with superficial blotchy retinal hemorrhages.
  • Patient 2 developed acute bilateral panuveitis and secondary glaucoma, with subsequent retinal hemorrhages and perivasculitis.
  • Patient 3, with cerebral malaria, exhibited subconjunctival and retinal hemorrhages.

Findings:

  • Histopathologic examination of Patient 3's eyes revealed Plasmodium vivax parasites within retinal and choroidal blood vessels.
  • Cytoadherence of parasitized erythrocytes, schizonts, and gametocytes were observed in ocular vasculature.

Implications:

  • Suggests investigating malaria in patients with unexplained blotchy retinal hemorrhages.
  • Highlights the importance of considering malaria in differential diagnosis for specific ocular findings.
  • Emphasizes the need for ophthalmologic evaluation in individuals from or traveling to malaria-endemic regions presenting with retinal hemorrhages.
