Case Report: Plasmodium Vivax Malaria With Ocular Involvement

Abstract

Malaria remains one of the most important parasitic infections worldwide. Although Plasmodium falciparum is the species most often associated with severe outcomes, there is increasing recognition that Plasmodium vivax can also cause life-threatening complications. Traditionally considered a benign form of malaria, P. vivax has been linked to multi-organ dysfunction, severe anemia, and, more rarely, ocular involvement.
