Question:

I am a Surgical Services Line Educator heading to The Federated States of Micronesia the island of Pohnpei and I will be lecturing on Malignant Hyperthermia to their OR Staff on the island’s only hospital. My question is this; do you have any reported cases of MH from the South Pacific? How would I go about researching this? I am traveling with the Moran Eye Center International Outreach team, they are part of the University of Utah Health Care system.
  

Answer:

If you consider the Phillipines part of the South Pacific, then yes, there was a case. A call came from a Navy Hospital Ship, and it was MH in a young Filipino boy, and the patient was successfully treated. The case was actually reported in Military Medicine.
