A case of an asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infection followed by a symptomatic Plasmodium ovale infection in a soldier deployed to South Sudan

Abstract

This case underscores the importance of molecular detection for surveillance and vigilant follow-up in malaria management, particularly among patients with a history of deployment in endemic regions. The detection of P. ovale after treatment for P. falciparum highlights the need for increased awareness and testing for mixed infections to ensure effective malaria control strategies.
