Background. Hyperlactatemia is an important and common complication of severe malaria. We investigated changes in fluid compartment volumes in patients with severe malaria and control patients with the use of bioimpedence analysis. Methods. We estimated extracellular water and total body water volumes in a total of 180 children: 56 with severe malaria, 94 with moderate malaria, 24 with respiratory tract infection, and 6 with severe diarrhea. Results. There was a mean ( +/- SD) decrease in total body water volume of mL/kg ( or 3% of total 17 +/- 24 body water volume) in patients with severe malaria. This compares with a mean ( +/- SD) decrease in total body water volume of mL/kg ( or 6% of total body water volume) in patients with severe diarrhea. There was 33 +/- 28 no increase in extracellular water volume in patients with severe malaria, suggesting no significant intravascular volume depletion in patients with severe malaria. There was no relationship between lactatemia and any changes in fluid compartment volumes. Conclusions. The changes in fluid volumes that were observed are unlikely to be of physiological significance in the pathophysiology of severe malaria.
