The clinicopathologic manifestations of plasmodium vivax malaria in children
Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Plasmodium vivax is generally benign and complications leading to signifi cant morbidity and mortality are uncommon,but in recent times it is being seen increasingly as complicated disease in various manifestations. Studies done on this increasing virulence of P. Vivax in children, are very rare. Objectives: This study was done with the intention of fi nding out spectrum of severe malaria complicationswhich are associated with P. vivax in children.Patients with mixed malarial infection were excluded by appropriate tests, to improve the diagnostic accuracy. The present study was focused on the pediatric population with a sample size of 30 subjects.
