Malaria is a pathology caused by a parasite called Plasmodium,
characteristic of tropical countries. The most frequent symptomatology
includes cerebral malaria, jaundice, convulsive crisis, anemia,
hypoglycemia, kidney failure and metabolic acidosis, among others.
We are presenting the case of a patient diagnosed with malaria who
suffered from acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis and evolved
poorly, as an example of this combination of symptoms, rarely found
in our country.
