A young immigrant male presented to the hospital with multiple complaints and was found to be in septic shock with symptomatic anemia. After an extensive workup, the patient was found to have malaria, a disease caused by the bite of an infected mosquito. This case outlines the pertinent findings, relevant diagnostic tests, and appropriate treatment for a patient with malaria secondary to Plasmodium vivax. It also demonstrates the importance of social and travel history, especially when evaluating our immigrant populations.
