High malaria parasitemia in an Italian man and severe delayed hemolytic anemia
Parenteral artesunate has become the choice treatment of cases of high parasitemia malaria. We report the case of an Italian man with a high malaria parasitemia who promptly improved with intravenous artenusate, but who developed a delayed severe hemolytic anemia associated with intravenous artesunate treatment, requiring blood trasfusions.
