The current finding should serve as an alert to epidemiologists, clinicians and laboratory technicians in the possibility of finding P. ovale in Malaysia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Examination demonstrated scleral icterus, splenomegaly, and anemia. By peripheral blood smear, the patient was diagnosed with Plasmodium ovale. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The recent increase in the number of people travelling to regions where P. ovale is endemic, suggests that a PCR-based protocol should be included as a complementary tool for malaria reference laboratories. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This is by far the first reported case of P. ovale infection with acute renal injury. In case B, the patient suffered renal injury a few days before he came down with nosocomial sepsis. [link.springer.com]

On the second day of treatment the patient developed respiratory failure, requiring intubation and ventilatory support with new bilateral pulmonary infiltrates. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
