Brief description/objective

Cerebral malaria with Plasmodium vivax is uncommon. Normally Plasmodium falciparum is the cause of cerebral malaria. We report about a 18 year old patient from Pakistan with a history of intermittent fever for several months. The patient recovered within a few days; however prognosis can be severe when cerebral malaria is complicating the course of Plasmodium vivax infection.
