Severe Plasmodium vivax Malaria Complicated by Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, and Acute Pancreatitis: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) malaria, once regarded as a comparatively benign infection, is increasingly recognized as a cause of severe, potentially life‐threatening multisystem disease. Concurrent secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and acute pancreatitis complicating P.

Cerebral Malaria

Brain Pathology, 1997
Malaria infection of the Central Nervous System (CNS) can cause a severe neurological syndrome termed Cerebral Malaria (CM). The central neuropathological feature of CM is the preferential sequestration of parasitised red blood cells (PRBC) in the cerebral microvasculature.
