| description | Plasmodium falciparum malaria with complications is a challenge
for the clinicians worldwide, especially when it presents with rare
manifestations. Haematological abnormalities and coagulopathy
are the well documented complications in malaria. Rarely does
malaria present with bleeding. We are reporting a 20 years old man
who presented with haematemesis as the presenting symptom of
falciparum malaria. In the review of literature, there are reports of
haematemesis in malaria, but none of it as a presenting symptom. |
