Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis : an International Journal in Haemostasis and Thrombosis
Viroj Wiwanitkit

Abstract

At present, malaria - one of the most important parasitic infections - is increasing globally. Bleeding is an important clinical manifestation of malaria. The current review presents the author's experience of overt bleeding presentations of 50 Thai patients with malaria infection who visited a rural hospital in Chiangmai, Thailand. In addition, the literature on malarial bleeding is reviewed. In conclusion, overt bleeding is not uncommon in malaria. General practitioners in the endemic areas should be aware of malarial infection in any patient presenting with unexplained fever and bleeding.
