摘要：

Severe malaria anaemia is a frequent cause of admission to hospital in tropical Africa and about 10% of children with this condition die. To determine ways in which mortality might be reduced we have studied risk factors for a fatal outcome in 173 children with severe malaria anaemia who were assigned to receive blood transfusion because they had a packed cell volume of less than 12% and/or signs of respiratory distress. Twenty-three children died (13%); in 15 cases (65%) death occurred before blood transfusion was given. The presence of respiratory distress was found to be the most important predictor of death. Children with severe malaria anaemia and signs of respiratory distress must therefore be transfused as soon as possible.
