Abstract

Dünyanın üçüncü enfeksiyöz ölümcül hastalığı olan sıtma, plazmodyum türü protozoon tarafından enfekte edilmiş dişi anofel cinsi sivrisineği ısırığından kaynaklanır. Tüm sıtma vakalarının %35'ten fazlası falciparum malaria türü kaynaklıdır. Sıtmanın bazı nörolojik semptomları, özellikle şiddetli falciparum enfeksiyonu ile beraber olduğunda; şuur değişikliği, tekrarlayan nöbetler ve koma olarak bildirilmiştir. Burada, Hindistan’ın Kerela bölgesinde göçmen işçi olarak çalışan, önceden sağlıklı genç bir erişkinde plasmodyum falciparum kaynaklı sıtmaya bağlı akut bilateral motor nöron zayıflığı hakkında özgün bir vaka sunuyoruz.

An interesting case of acute bilateral upper motor weakness: A case report

Abstract

Malaria, the world’s third-ranked infectious killer, is caused by the bite of a female anopheline mosquito which is infected a protozoan from the genus ‘Plasmodium’. More than 35% of all malaria cases are caused by the falciparum malaria species. Several neurological manifestations of malaria have been reported, especially with severe falciparum infection, which in- clude altered level of consciousness, repeated seizures and coma. Here, we report a unique case of acute bilateral upper motor neuron weakness due to P. Falciparum malaria in a previously healthy young adult, who is a migrant worker in Kerala/India.
