Abstract:
Plasmodium vivax malaria is known for its recurring febrile episodes, typically considered less severe than its counterparts. This case study presents a distinctive case of a 22-year-old male from a malaria-endemic region, experiencing spleen rupture and infarction as rare complications of vivax malaria. We explore the uncommon aspects of this case, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and tailored management.
