Mixed malaria infections with Plasmodium are rare and can lead to more serious complications than a single infection. They are particularly common in travelers to malaria-endemic areas. Proper diagnosis and treatment of cases help to control this infection.We report the case of a rare and severe malaria infection, associating two plasmodial species: Plasmodium falciparum and P.vivax, with high parasitemia and fatal complication.
