Abstract:
Severe malaria after splenectomy has been reported with infections with Plasmodium falciparum , Plasmodium knowlesi , and Plasmodium malariae, but is less well-characterized with Plasmodium vivax . We describe a case of severe P. vivax malaria with hypotension, prostration, and acute kidney injury occurring 2 months after splenectomy in Papua, Indonesia. The patient was treated successfully with intravenous artesunate.
