“…Lymphopenia in patients might have suppressed adoptive immunity against P. vivax. Earlier, P. falciparum was endemic in our population 1,2 . Recurrent infection by this parasite might have resulted in immunity against this parasite.…”

“…Results of previous studies on malaria in this region revealed detection of Plasmodium falciparum 1,2 alone in years 1995 to 1997. Present study was carried out later after 2 decades which revealed detection of vivax malaria in many subjects with fever.…”

“…In addition to malaria infection, potentially oncogenic mosquito‐borne arboviruses and tumor promoters can induce the characteristic 8:14 translocation of endemic Burkitt's lymphoma in EBV‐infected cell lines (van den Bosch, 2004). Apart from being an etiologic agent, P. falciparum malaria can complicate other hematologic malignancies such as leukemia which can also present in the mouth (Nirmala et al , 1999).…”

Half of the world population resides in malaria-prone areas, and the disease is responsible for more than a million deaths annually. This is apart from the economic impact of the disease through resources expended towards treatment and prevention and the loss of manpower. In addition to the overt clinical signs and symptoms, the association of malaria with other diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV infection has been described. However few studies have attempted to investigate its relationship to oral diseases. This review provides an overview of the relevance of malaria to the mouth and adjacent structures. The need for further research is also emphasized.

“…Additional risk factor, in this setting is of transfusion‐transmitted malaria 1, 2. There are isolated reports of malaria, complicating the course of patients receiving chemotherapy 3–8. Presumptive administration of antimalarial therapy for fever is rampant in regions that are endemic for malaria.…”

Malaria was not found to be a causative agent for FN in children with various malignant disorders, in a region with low endemicity for malaria. Presumptive administration of antimalarials in children with FN is unjustified. Pediatric oncologists constantly face the challenge of managing febrile illnesses in immunocompromised patients. Those practicing in malaria endemic regions can effectively exploit diagnostic tools for malaria for a rational decision.
