Abstract

A Burmese man was diagnosed with severe Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) malaria infection admitted to a hospital in Thailand. Interestingly, following RT-PCR analysis, infections with both P. vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi were identified, potentially contributing to severe manifestation. Co-infection risk, especially in severe P. vivax cases, warrants vigilant consideration.
