ABSTRACT
A previously healthy 4-year old male, born in India and residing in Mobile, Alabama since October 1996 came to the emergency department in April 1997 because of general malaise, fever and vomits of 5 days duration. A peripheral smear of the complete blood count revealed the presence of malarial parasites within the erythrocytes. Plasmodium vivax was later identified in serial thin peripheral smears. He defervesced after initial treatment with oral quinine and pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine, followed by primaquine for 14 days.
