BACKGROUND
Blackwater fever is a clinical entity characterized by acute intravascular hemolysis classically occuring after the re-introduction of quinine in long-term residents in Plasmodium falciparum endemic areas and repeatedly using the product.
UNASSIGNED
The symptomatology appears brutally
Four severe cases of imported malaria are reported here. Three of them are pernicious and the fourth is a black water fever (hemoglobinuria). The difficulties of initial diagnosis are exposed. There was no mortality in these four cases which represent the annual recruiting of a multipurpose
Blackwater fever (BWF), one of the most severe and life-threatening forms of falciparum malaria, is characterized by acute massive intravascular haemolysis, often leading to acute renal failure. Thus far, the genetics of the underlying susceptibility to develop BWF is not fully
Blackwater fever was an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the beginning of this century particularly in West and Central Africa. There has been a marked reduction in the incidence of blackwater fever since 1950 and only sporadic cases occur nowadays. At the Kenyatta National Hospital,
Autoimmunity is a field that has only been around for a little over a century. Initially, it was thought that autoimmunity could not happen, that the body would never turn on itself (i.e. "horror autotoxicus"). It was only around the First World War that autoimmunity was recognized as the
Five cases of blackwater fever (BWF) are described, all of whom had a history of recent quinine therapy. In two cases a second haemolytic crisis was induced by halofantrine, in one case also a third. Increasing frequency of this syndrome with its dramatic clinical presentation is to be expected as
Blackwater fever (BWF), one of the commonest causes of death of Europeans living in Africa at the beginning of the twentieth century, but rarely diagnosed since the 1950s, is related to Plasmodium falciparum malaria but there is considerable debate and controversy about its aetiology. From 1990 to
Between January 1985 and March 1986, in the high altitude area of Kivu, Eastern Zaïre, 38 patients presenting with hemoglobinuria as main manifestation were investigated. Profound glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency was detected in 4 patients, leptospirosis in 2 and Hantaan virus infection
This article discusses the research on blackwater fever that was undertaken by Alexandre Yersin in 1895. It shows with the help of the three-fold light of the laboratory notes, the published articles, and the private correspondence of Yersin, how historical, political, scientific and personal
BACKGROUND
Blackwater fever (BWF) is one of the severe forms of malaria. This complication was first described among non-immune European expatriates in the malaria endemic areas. Recently, resurgence of this form of malaria has been reported among the indigenous populations. The objective of this
The mechanism of massive intravascular haemolysis occurring during the treatment of malaria infection resulting in haemoglobinuria, commonly known as blackwater fever (BWF), remains unknown. BWF is most often seen in those with severe malaria treated with amino-alcohol drugs, including quinine,
BACKGROUND
Blackwater fever is a rare but serious form of malaria in children. Diagnosis relies on clinical symptoms and on the color of the urines.
OBJECTIVE
To describe blackwater fever in children, a disease whose prevalence seems to be increasing.
METHODS
We report 3 cases of blackwater fever
We report a highly probable case of moderately severe blackwater fever. A French woman, living in Guinea Bissau, was used to taking self-medication halofantrine for malaria. On this occasion, she felt unusual chills and pyrexia after a non documented bout of malaria, followed by nausea, then
A second haemolytic crisis of blackwater fever (BWF) following a combination of artemether-lumefantrine intake, in an 8-year-old Congolese boy is reported. The patient had a history of BWF after quinine intake. He was given artemether-lumefantrine treatment for malaria. He was free from G6PD
Blackwater fever is a rare manifestation of falciparum malaria characterized by sudden intravascular hemolysis followed by fever and hemoglobinuria. We present a case of blackwater fever, having occurred after administration of quinine, which was treated successfully with artemether.
