Abstract
Symmetric peripheral gangrene (SPG) in a case of mixed malaria (P. falciparum and P. vivax) is a rare and relatively unknown complication of malaria. We report a case of 10-yr-old female with mixed malaria infection and SPG (Symmetric Peripheral Gangrene) of foot, which is most likely due to interaction between parasite factors (P. Falciparum and P. viavx) and host factors.
