RESUMEN
Despite all the measures taken preoperatively, bleeding may persist and require surgical control. Before considering treatment, it is necessary to establish the diagnosis with the origin of the bleeding. The surgical procedure depends on the aetiology. There are many surgical options and adjuvant measures to consider. They should be known by the operating theatre nurse, who is a major player in surgical management. Successful control of bleeding requires quality multidisciplinary collaboration.

The splenic complications of acute malaria include two different prognostic and treatment entities: splenic infarction and splenic rupture. This is the first case of splenic infarction during an acute malaria due to Plasmodium ovale in a 34-year-old man. As in the majority other described cases of splenic infarction, the course was spontaneously favourable, suggesting that this complication was relatively benign compared to splenic rupture, which is life-threatening and usually necessitating surgery.
