Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Hypermalarial splenomegaly syndrome (HMS) usually occurs in adults living in malaria-endemic areas. A 7-year-old girl presented with a 7-week history of gradual distention of the abdomen and low grade fever, 8 months after traveling to Ghana, and was subsequently diagnosed with HMS. Presentation at such a young age after very brief exposure to a malaria-endemic area has not been described previously. |
