다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Malaria is a protozoan disease transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. Since Plasmodium vivax malaria reemerged in the north west areas of South Korea in 1993, many cases with various manifestations have been reported, Clinicians should be aware of the rare and severe complications as well as the common complications. Splenic complications such as hematoma formation rupture, torsion, cyst formation, and infarction are unusual manifestations of tertian malaria: therefore we present two cases of P. vivax malaria with severe splenic complications with review of literature. One had a splenic infarction and the other had a splenic rupture, which was diagnosed by computed tomography. Both patients were successfully treated with a conservative approach.
