Abstract :

Malaria is a major problem in tropical and sub-tropical countries, with high morbidity and mortality. Splenectomy makes patients more susceptible to serious bacterial and parasitic infections. We report for the first time in Iran a fatal case of Plasmodium vivax malaria, confirmed by microscopic and molecu­lar (Semi-nested multiplex PCR) tests in a patient who had undergone splenectomy due to hemolytic anemia.
