Case report: A 29 - year -old male patient with fever and hepatosplenomegaly, diagnosed with Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) malaria&#13;
infection developed sudden loss of vision in left eye during the course of illness. He was found to have retinal and macular&#13;
intra-retinal hemorrhage and was managed conservatively with serial follow up. The condition resolved spontaneously with no&#13;
residual defective vision.&#13;
Discussion: Retinal and macular hemorrhages are very rare in P. vivax infections and very few cases have been reported in&#13;
literature.&#13;
Conclusion: Recognition of this rare, yet serious and vision threatening complication in P. vivax malaria infection is emphasized&#13;
for the need to be aware of the protean manifestations of P. vivax malaria infections.&#13;
