Patient Exhibiting Malarial Symptoms

Misdiagnosis is common for a number of different conditions that are the same as malaria, and can not manage patients well and makes them sick. The same diseases as malaria include influenza, dengue, legionellosis, brucellosis, sinusitis, cholera and so on. In this particular case study, we will investigate influenza and dengue and treat it as a differential diagnosis of malaria. Influenza is one of the most infectious diseases in the world and can lead to mortality and morbidity (Lan et al., 2013).

Differential diagnosis is also commonly used in the field of psychiatry / psychology. There, two different diagnoses can be attached to patients showing symptoms that can be adapted to any diagnosis. For example, considering similar symptoms of the two conditions, patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder can also undergo differential diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. The strategy used to create a differential diagnostic list depends on the healthcare provider's experience. Beginner providers can systematically evaluate all possible interpretations of patient concerns, but people with more experience are often inefficient strategies and test delays, risks, and costs We use clinical experience and pattern recognition to protect patients from. Effective healthcare providers complement clinical experience with knowledge of clinical research using evidence-based methods.

The failure of treatment is defined as being able to eliminate malaria parasitemia or resolve clinical symptoms despite taking antimalarial medicine. However, treatment failures are not necessarily due to drug resistance, and many factors can be contributed primarily by decreasing drug concentration. These factors include incorrect doses, poor patient compliance with dosages and duration of treatment, poor drug quality, and drug interactions. Individual differences in pharmacokinetics may lead to treatment failure due to malabsorption, rapid elimination (diarrhea or vomiting), or insufficient biotransformation of the prodrug even after supervising the management of complete antimalarial drugs Yes.

If the patient continues to ask me about frequent malaria symptoms and treats malaria without thorough assessment of other diseases that may cause similar symptoms in addition to malaria resistance, I will always be fatal You may miss a fatal case. There is a danger of losing the patient carelessly. According to the World Health Organization, patients suspected of malaria should be confirmed by a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) for microscopy or parasite diagnosis before starting antimalarial therapy. Treatment should be based on clinical reasons only if the patient is not immediately available for diagnosis within 2 hours of treatment. Timely treatment - within 24 hours of fever - effective and safe antimalarials are needed to prevent life threatening complications.
