Abstract
Immune Hemolytic Anemia in a Patient with Plasmodium vivax Malaria
The combination of anemia in malarial infestations has been well documented in literature. But an immune hemolytic anemia developing within days of treatment for Plasmodium vivax malaria has seldom been reported. We present a case of a patient with vivax malaria who developed severe anemia and jaundice on day seven of initiating treatment with artesunate; necessitating expedient measures. This case highlights the importance, yet under-reported association of Plasmodium vivax malaria and immune-mediated hemolysis.
