Haemolytic anaemia after oral artemether–lumefantrine treatment in a patient affected by severe imported falciparum malaria

Artemisinin and its derivatives are essential components of artemisinin-based combination therapies for treating severe falciparum malaria. In this paper, we describe the occurrence of haemolysis after oral artemether–lumefantrine treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported case of a patient affected by severe falciparum malaria with haemolytic anaemia that is likely associated with oral artemether–lumefantrine treatment.
