Abstract

Plasmodium vivax, which was previously considered 'benign', has come out with unusual severe symptoms. We, here present an unusual case of Plasmodium vivax malaria presenting with spontaneous splenic rupture with hemoperitoneum, renal and pulmonary dysfunction. Following conservative management, there was an uneventful recovery, and the patient was discharged in a good general condition.

Key words: Splenic Rupture; Typhomalaria; Vivax Malaria
