Abstract

Abstract:

Neonatal malaria is one of the differential diagnoses of sepsis in malaria endemic areas. Neonatal malaria is often ignored as it is considered to be uncommon. Transfusion acquired malaria is among the causes of neonatal malaria, as blood is rarely screened for malarial parasite. Here we present a unique case of neonatal malaria caused by exchange transfusion done for indirect hyperbillirubenemia in a G6PD deficient baby.
