RESUMO
The symptoms of COVID-19 include febrility and mainly catarrhal symptoms. In severe cases, patients present with progression to lower respiratory tract and acute respiratory distress (ARDS) and multi-organ dysfunction. Malaria caused by P. falciparum is a severe, endemic parasitosis, mainly in Africa. In some cases, it can be complicated with ARDS. We present a case of a patient who returned from Nigeria with respiratory symptoms, in which both COVID-19 infection and tropical malaria were proven; with a fatal outcome.
