“…This change in treatment guidelines occurred in 2013 [ 16 ] following growing reports of failed ASP reported in numerous northeastern states, including Mizoram, Tripura, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh [ 17 , 18 ]. The literature search revealed documented cases of severe malaria in Meghalaya that were successfully resolved using artesunate [ 19 ], but the degree of drug resistance to ACT in the state remains largely undocumented. The recommended treatment for P. vivax infection across the whole of India is chloroquine [ 15 ], which until 2004 was used to treat P. falciparum infections before the emergence of resistance, documented in northeast India [ 10 , 11 ], Meghalaya, and adjacent states [ 13 ].…”

“…Although the majority of documented malaria cases in Meghalaya in the last decade are uncomplicated (i.e., cause mild disease), severe clinical presentations involving multiple organs including the central nervous, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, and pancreatic systems, have been reported in children [ 14 ] and adults [ 19 ]. Children (ages 0–17 years) with severe and unusual malaria syndromes were identified through a retrospective review of children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit at NEIGHRIMS hospital in Shillong between 2006 and 2009 [ 14 ].…”

“…On ultrasound, the pancreas was found to be hypoechoic and bulky, and it was treated using anti-malarial agents that proved AP to be an atypical complication for malaria. Thus, it should be ruled out in patients presenting with AP with an unknown etiology [ 43 ].…”
