BARAHONA-CORREA, Julián E.; JIMENEZ, Andrés; DE CASTRO, Melissa  and  LOPEZ, Juan Carlos. Mixed Malaria: Regarding the Diagnosis of a Case in a Non-Endemic Zone. Univ. Med. [online]. 2018, vol.59, n.2, pp.72-76. ISSN 0041-9095.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.umed59-2.mixt.

Mixed-malaria infections are often under recognized, despite their high morbimortality. The presence of more than one species of Plasmodium spp. in association with clinical symptoms configures a mixed-malaria infection. A pediatric patient diagnosed with mixed-malaria infection in a non-endemic zone hospital is described. A brief review and its therapeutic approach for Colombia are presented.

Keywords : malaria; Plasmodium; Plasmodium vivax; Plasmodium falciparum; coinfection.
