ABSTRACT
Malaria is a life-threatening, parasitic disease that continues to infect millions of people, especially in endemic regions. Despite advancements in malaria treatment, treating the disease remains challenging. One major challenge is identifying the disease from its unconventional manifestations. Therefore, recognizing its unusual clinical presentations is imperative in early detection and management with a better prognosis. This case report highlights the unique finding of paralytic ileus from a patient with confirmed malaria. Further investigation on the concurrence between paralytic ileus and malaria may aid in identifying the disease and subsequent improvement in treatment.
