Atypical manifestations of malaria
Res Rep Trop Med.

Abstract
Malaria remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The classic presentation of malaria with paroxysms of fever is seen only in 50%-70% of patients. Development of immunity, increasing resistance to antimalarial drugs, and indiscriminate use of antimalarial drugs have led to malaria presenting with unusual features. This review compiles a description of the various atypical manifestations of malaria.
Keywords: atypical manifestations; malaria.
