He did survive, but
it was stormy.
- He was promptly placed on a broad spectrum
anti-malarial agent.
- Unfortunately, the degree of RBC
hemolysis was so great that the hemoglobin cleared by his
kidneys caused massive renal tubular cell necrosis.
- The image to the right shows acute tubular
necrosis (ATN), which led to an intra-renal obstructive condition,
causing his kidneys to quit working.
- He required 10 days of dialysis before his
renal function returned.
- His anemia worsened and he eventually
required several transfusions.
- He's better now, and he knows if he ever
goes to a malarial prone area again, he will take his prophylaxis for the
full 6 weeks after returning.
