Exchange Transfusion and Predictors of Outcome in Severe Falciparum Malaria
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
With an estimated 300-350 million cases and 1-3 million deaths, annually, malaria continues to be a major health concern especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and South-East Asia.1 In India malaria has staged a comeback after the early 1960s when an all-time low of malaria cases (49,151 in 1963) seemed to suggest the possibility of an impending eradication. During the last few years India has recorded about 2 million confirmed malarial cases and 1,000 deaths annually. These figures reveal just the tip of the iceberg as the WHO estimates about 15 million cases and 20,000 deaths annually
