Resumen

Background: Monomicrobial imported infection by Plasmodium ovale is very rare. Case presentation: We report a case of complicated imported malaria by Plasmodium ovale in a man who suffered from subacute recurrent fever, thrombocytopenia and splenomegaly. Conclusion: Both the patient history and a search of epidemiological medical history were fundamental for confirming the suspicion.
