摘要：

A 30-year-old Japanese woman with falciparum malaria was hospitalized because of fever and renal failure, and prolonged anemia was identified despite the eradication of malaria parasites through anti-malaria therapy. Bone marrow aspiration revealed the presence of macrophages with hemophagocytosis, and serum interleukin (IL)-18 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha levels were high in the anemic phase. Hemophagocytosis was confirmed for at least 3 weeks, and prolonged hemophagocytic syndrome is thought to be one of the causes of prolonged anemia in patients with falciparum malaria.
