ABSTRACT
Vivax malaria reemerged in the Republic of Korea in 1993. Vivax malaria is generally a benign disease with few severe complications. Even in the worldwide literature, there is only a small number of case reports on severe complications in vivax malaria. We report a unique case of P. vivax infection complicated by seizure and shock. A 58 year-old male showed generalized tonic-clonic seizure and shock after P. vivax infection. The species of malarial parasite was identified using peripheral blood film examination and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). He successfully recovered after treatment with hydroxychloroquine.
