Malaria in Haiti Symposia, presented in Milot, Haiti at Hôpital Sacré Coeur.CRUDEM’s Education Committee (a subcommittee of the Board of Directors) sponsors one-week medical symposia on specific medical topics, i.e. diabetes, infectious disease. The classes are held at Hôpital Sacré Coeur and doctors and nurses come from all over Haiti to attend.

Hai$  

 Each  year,  Haiti  reports    ~30,000  confirmed  cases  to  PAHO  

 200,000  cases  are  thought  to  occur  annually   Occurs  mostly  during  the  rainy  season:    

 Primary  peak  November  to  January

Prevalence  in  Hai$  

 Emerging  Infectious  Diseases  Journal  (Volume  13,  Number  10–October  2007):   Survey  of  714  persons  in  Artibonite  Valley  during  high  malaria  season  

 Prevalence  of  3.1%  by  PCR    14.2%  prevalence  amongst  febrile  persons

Malaria  a.er  Jan  12   JAMA.  2010;303(20):2028-­‐2029:  

 From  Jan  12  to  Feb  25,  CDC  received  reports  of  11  laboratory-­‐confirmed  cases  of  P.  falciparum  malaria  acquired  in  Haiti  

 7  emergency  responders,  3  Haitian  residents,  1  US  traveler  

 2  of  the  emergency  responders  required  transfer  to  the  US  for  ICU  care

Biology  

 Vector:  female  Anopheles  mosquito   After  inoculation,  sporozoites  go  to  liver  in  1  to  2  hrs   Liver  stage  is  asymptomatic   Incubation  period  is  12  to  14  days  for  Pf   Symptomatic  stage  is  RBC  stage

Biology  

 Why  is  P.falciparum  so  virulent?  

 CYTOADHERENCE    AND  SEQUESTRATION  

Page 12: Malaria in Haiti Symposia - The CRUDEM Foundation

Biology  

 P.  falciparum  expresses  “knobs”  on  the  surface  of  infected  RBCs  

 Knobs  mediate  cytoadherence  to  endothelial  cells   Leads  to:  

 Small  infarcts   Capillary  leakage   Organ  dysfunction

Treatment  

 Good  news:  P.  falciparum  malaria  in  Haiti  is  chloroquine  sensitive  

 Bad  news:    P.  falciparum  malaria  in  Haiti  can  still  prove  fatal

Hypoglycemia  

 Follow  blood  sugars  routinely   Use  IVF  with  D5  routinely   Consider  in  pts  with  MS  changes

Malaria  elimina*on  on  Hispaniola  

 The  Lancet  Infectious  Diseases  May  2010:  

 What  is  needed  for  malaria  elimination  on  Hispaniola?  

Page 65: Malaria in Haiti Symposia - The CRUDEM Foundation

Eliminate  the  human  reservoir  

 Establish  active  case  detection  around  patients  identified  passively  through  health  systems  to  detect  asymptomatic  infections  

 Mass  detection  and  treatment  of  infection,  particularly  during  the  extended  dry  season  

Page 66: Malaria in Haiti Symposia - The CRUDEM Foundation

Prevent  transmission  

 Targeted  insecticide-­‐treated  mosquito  nets,  indoor  residual  spraying,  or  larval  habitat  management  around  foci  of  infection  identified  through  passive  to  active  case  detection  

Page 67: Malaria in Haiti Symposia - The CRUDEM Foundation

Mobilize  community  

 To  seek  diagnosis  and  treatment  for  all  fevers  

 To  understand  and  support  the  elimination  effort

 Carter  Center  launched  initiative  to  eradicate  malaria  in  Haiti/DR  by  2010  

 Will  likely  cost  $200  million
