In India, malaria is endemic and commonly caused by Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum. Thrombocytopenia is a common finding in falciparum infection but is rare in P. vivax infection. We report profound thrombocytopenia in a 43-year-old female patient due to P. vivax infection. The platelet count was as low as 5 x 10(9)/liter, such severe thrombocytopenia has never been reported in vivax malaria.
在印度，疟疾是地方病，通常由间日疟原虫和恶性疟原虫引起。血小板减少在恶性疟感染中是常见表现，但在间日疟感染中罕见。我们报告了一名43岁女性患者因间日疟原虫感染出现严重血小板减少的情况。血小板计数低至5×10⁹/升，如此严重的血小板减少在间日疟中从未有过报道。
