Abstract
|
|
|
|
Anemia associated with Plasmodium vivax (P.vivax) malaria occurs as a result of the lysis of red cells by schizonts, bone marrow suppression, and splenic sequestration. A 20-year-old man presented with fever and anemia. He was diagnosed with P. vivax malaria with a positive direct antiglobulin test and treated with antimalarial medication for 2 weeks. He recovered without sequelae. we suggest that autoimmune hemolytic anemia should be considered as one of cause of anemia in P. vivax malaria.
