Abstract
We describe a case series of 17 patients hospitalized in Manaus (western Brazilian Amazon) with PCR-confi rmed Plasmodium vivax infection who were treated with chloroquine and primaquine. The major complications were jaundice and severe anemia. No in vivo chloroquine resistance was detected. These data help characterize the clinical profi le of severe P. vivax malaria in Latin America.
