Abstract

Plasmodium vivax is known for its benign nature but now recognition of life threatening complications related to this infection is on rise. We report two cases of Plasmodium vivax malaria complicated by ARDS. Patients were treated with Artesunate, followed by Sulfadoxin Pyerimethamin combination. Rarely, ARDS is a presenting complication or occurs during the course of Plasmodium vivax.
