Congenital malaria with atypical presentation: A series of three case reports

Abstract

Congenital malaria is among rare presentation of the disease. Neonatal malaria remains extremely rare both in endemic and non endemic areas. Herein, we report three cases of congenital malaria presenting with prolonged jaundice from a non endemic region of North-India. This may emphasize the need to consider congenital malaria as a differential diagnosis while evaluating the babies with atypical symptoms like prolonged conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
