Article: Uncommon manifestation of a mixed-species malaria infection: cryptic falciparum malaria in a traveler with successfully treated tertian malaria.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report a case of falciparum malaria in a traveler 9 days after successful treatment of ovale malaria. The underlying, cryptic mixed-species infection was primarily undetectable with standard laboratory diagnostics. This case highlights the limitations of these tests and the unpredictability of typical incubation periods in the individual case.Journal of Travel Medicine 03/2012; 19(2):133-5. · 1.75 Impact Factor
