Priapism, a prolonged erection, can be a rare complication of vivax malaria in adolescents. Surgical intervention may be necessary for treatment-resistant cases.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Urology

Background:

  • Malaria, particularly Plasmodium vivax, is a significant global health concern.
  • Priapism is a urologic emergency characterized by persistent penile erection.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old male presented with priapism.
  • The priapism was linked to a latent and protracted case of vivax malaria.

Findings:

  • The patient's condition was refractory to standard anti-malarial and conservative therapies.
  • Surgical intervention led to satisfactory detumescence, resolving the priapism.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for unusual presentations of malaria.
  • Highlights the importance of considering malaria in the differential diagnosis of priapism, especially in endemic areas.
