Patient is a case of falciparum malaria. Rx: inj Latinate 120mg iv BD on day 1 followed by inj Latinate 120mg iv OD for the next 3-5 days. Tab malarid ds 45mg stat to be given Rest symptomatic treatment. I don’t consider typhi dot until and unless patient has signs and symptoms of enteric fever.
Primaquine is given in p vivax as a radical cure. In this case u should go for G6 PD level . Then u can go for primaquine.
Malirid DS dose should be calculated according to ideal body weight, sir. 45mg stat would suffice. Supportive treatment for the rash.
@Shivraj Agarwal Sir - 15mg primaquine for 15 days is given for P. VIVAX calculated as 0.25mg/kgBW , but here case is P. FALCIPARUM where we give 45mg Primaquine only at Day 2 calculated as 0.75mg/kgBW As the weight of patient is 102, which means at Day 2, he needs 5 tabs of Malirid DS Each tab of Malirid DS has 15mg Please give your views sir
