ABSTRACT

Knowlesi malaria is widely researched and the most common cause of malaria in Sabah, northern east of Malaysia. Unlike the falciparum species, it is uncommon for knowlesi malaria patients to develop life threatening conditions. We report a case of a fatal knowlesi malaria complicated by pulmonary haemorrhage at our institution.
