Abstract
Up to 21% of severe cases of malaria tropica are associated with polyuria and are life-threatening. We describe a 39-yr-old man with malaria tropica who developed disseminated intravascular coagulation, polyuria, and a pituitary lesion. Empiric treatment with vasopressin improved the polyuria. This is the first case of malaria tropica in which central diabetes insipidus has been documented.Entities:
