infection in Indonesia has been reported from Sumatera and Kalimantan Island. has the shortest asexual replication cycle of all species, leading to rapidly increased parasitemia levels; however, it usually does not cause high parasitemia. It was reported a severe knowlesi malaria case in a 41-year-old male patient in Samarinda, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. The patient was admitted to the hospital with fever and decrease in level of consciousness. Malarial blood smear showed trophozoites and ring forms of with parasite count 52,000/µl blood, and confirmed by polymerase chain reaction test. The patient was diagnosed as having severe knowlesi malaria with a high parasitemia level, accompanied by acute neurocognitive impairments, including moderate weakness, disorientation, and partial loss of memory that lasted for approximately 3 weeks.
印度尼西亚的苏门答腊岛和加里曼丹岛已报告有感染病例。[该物种]在所有物种中具有最短的无性繁殖周期，导致寄生虫血症水平迅速上升；然而，它通常不会引起高寄生虫血症。据报道，在印度尼西亚东加里曼丹省三马林达市的一名41岁男性患者中出现了一例严重的诺氏疟疾病例。该患者因发热和意识水平下降入院。疟原虫血涂片显示有滋养体和环状体，每微升血液中的寄生虫计数为52,000个，并通过聚合酶链反应试验得到确诊。该患者被诊断为患有高寄生虫血症水平的严重诺氏疟疾病例，伴有急性神经认知障碍，包括中度虚弱、定向障碍和部分记忆丧失，持续了大约3周。 （注：原文中“ has the shortest asexual replication cycle of all species”这里的“ has”前缺少主语，根据语境推测可能是某一物种，但无法准确得知，故翻译时保留英文表述。）
