Metabolic complications of severe malaria are some of the most important and potentially treatable manifestations of this deadly disease. The commonest metabolic complications (lactic acidosis and hypoglycaemia) arise from increased host anaerobic metabolism probably due to a mismatch between tissue oxygen supply and requirement. Optimising treatments for these complications should be guided by detailed understanding of their underlying pathophysiology, and may help to reduce the intolerably high case fatality rate of severe malaria.

“…Quinine infusions in normal volunteers also increased plasma insulin concentrations that resulted in falls in fasting blood glucose levels . Pregnant women in Thailand and Sudan are prone to hypoglycaemia without associated hyperinsulinaemia Saeed et al 1990). [6,6-2 H 2 ] glucose turnover studies in pregnant Vietnamese women with uncomplicated malaria and pregnant and non-pregnant controls showed that duration of fasting is a determinant of the fall in blood glucose (van Thien et al 2004).…”

“…Malaria can coexist with such entities, with HIV, malnutrition, and intestinal geohelminths. Compared to non-pregnant women, pregnant ones experience more severe disease, more hypoglycemia, and more respiratory complications as pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome (Saeed et al, 1990). Hypoglycemia was in 58% of gravid women vs. 8% of non-pregnant ones (White, 1996).…”
