A boy of one and half years presented with fever of 5 days becoming pale rapidly and passing red colored urine coming from an endemic area.
The patient was found to be a case of Severe Malaria where anaemia developed due to rapid haemolysis of RBC and the urine become red due to presence of excess haemoglobin.
The patient was treated with Inj Quinine and responded well within days and then discharged.
