ABSTRACT
Cardiac functions are almost well preserved in malarial infection. We report a rare case with fatal complication of myocardial infarction in patient with delayed diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum infection. The authors therefore, suggest that every case of fever especially if associated with risk factor for cardiovascular disease should be immediately investigated for malaria so as to prevent this grave complication. This is even more important for people living in malarial endemic areas.
