ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: El síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda del adulto se presenta como una rara complicación obstétrica, siendo una de sus posibles etiologías la infección derivada por Plasmodium falciparum. La malaria complicada es cada vez menos frecuente, pero se asocia a una alta morbilidad y mortalidad en regiones endémicas, especialmente en pacientes embarazadas, quienes presentan un mayor riesgo de contraerla. Caso clínico: Presentamos el caso clínico de una embarazada con síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda del adulto secundario a una malaria complicada y que tiene un aborto de 14 semanas de gestación como consecuencia de esta complicación materna. Discusión: Se realiza una descripción del manejo de la paciente, a quien, a pesar del resultado obstétrico desfavorable, evoluciona satisfactoriamente, sin secuelas a largo plazo. En los casos de malaria en gestantes, es crucial no solo el diagnóstico precoz, sino también el inicio inmediato del tratamiento, con el fin de evitar la progresión a sus formas más severas.


ABSTRACT Introduction: The acute respiratory distress syndrome of the adult presents as a rare obstetric complication, being one of its possible etiologies the Plasmodium falciparum infection. Complicated malaria cases are increasingly rare but are associated with a high morbidity and mortality in endemic regions, especially in pregnant patients who are at a high risk of contracting malaria. Clinical case: We present the case of a pregnant patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to complicated malaria with a 14 weeks miscarriage secondary to maternal complications Discussion: We describe the patient's approach, who despite of the unfavorable obstetric outcome, had a satisfactory evolution without long term sequels. In obstetric malaria cases, it is not only crucial the early diagnosis but also the immediate treatment, in order to avoid the development of severe stages.

ABSTRACT

Alterations of the gallbladder wall is a well known sonographic sign of acute cholecystitis. But thickening of the gallbladder wall is also found in patients without intrinsic gallbladder disease. We present our experience on this regard in patients with cirrhosis, acute viral hepatitis, infectious mononucleosis, halothane hepatitis, fulminant hepatic failure, malaria due to plasmodium falciparum, heart failure, severe malnutrition due to gastric obstruction, septicemia, pyogenic hepatic abscess, amoebic hepatic abscess and in a 14 years old patient with fracture of the skull-acute anemia-shock. Most of these diseases affected the liver directly or indirectly. Knowledge of these alterations of the gallbladder wall in these circumstances are important in order to avoid a the erroneous diagnosis of acute cholecystitis.
