Missed Plasmodium ovale Infections Among Symptomatic Persons in Angola, Mozambique, and Ethiopia
OPEN FORUM INFECTIOUS DISEASES(2022)
Abstract
The majority of symptomatic malaria in sub-Saharan Africa is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Infection with Plasmodium ovale is often not recorded and not considered clinically relevant. Here, we describe 8 cases of P ovale infection from 3 African countries-all of which were misdiagnosed at the presenting health facility.
