Plasmodium vivax malaria with thrombocytopenia presenting as Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in an elderly male
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research and Review - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
It is of common belief that plasmodium vivax causes benign malaria. But there are lots of evidence now available to suggest that it can cause complicated malaria, even cerebral malaria like plasmodium falciparum. We present a case of an elderly male who presented to us with drowsiness and later diagnosed as having subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to severe thrombocytopenia caused by plasmodium vivax infection.
