Plasmodium vivax infection can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This complication of P vivax infection is being increasingly recognised and was life threatening in a traveller returning from Gujarat, India. Nineteen other published cases of P vivax with respiratory symptoms are also reviewed and confirm that ARDS was the underlying complication in most cases. Plasmodium vivax-associated ARDS is a clinically recognisable condition whose underlying pathophysiology is likely to reflect processes that are independent of parasite sequestration in the pulmonary microvasculature.
