Severe malaria

Marco P Barros Pinto et al. Infection. 2020 Feb.

Abstract

Malaria represents a medical emergency. Without rapid diagnosis and treatment, it can progress and lead to severe complications and, eventually, death. Severe malaria is almost always caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Here, we present an image showing a set of hematological findings associated with severe malaria, highlighting the importance of a correct morphological diagnosis.
