Abstract:
Vivax malaria is usually a benign infection but now trends are changing. We, here present an unusual case of P. vivax malaria presenting with spontaneous hemoperitoneum with thrombocytopenia. Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in P. vivax malaria has been reported earlier but with splenic rupture. However our case though had hemoperitoneum but no splenic rupture. In our case, thrombocytopenia was found to be the cause of hemoperitoneum which has not been reported earlier in Indian literature.
