Although malaria in pregnancy, lactation and congenital malaria can be a disease
burden in the endemic zones of Africa and Indian sub-continent, it is still
epidemiologically less investigated in India. As it may lead to considerable
maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, awareness and timely intervention
is necessary for desirable outcome and prevention of the condition. Very few
reports of congenital malaria are available in the literature from an endemic
country like India. Herein we describe a case of congenital malaria from north
India in a 21-day neonate. Clinical presentation of this condition in the neonate
may offer a considerable diagnostic challenge, and differentiation from vector
borne malaria in infants may be important from the management point of view.
Hence a review of the differential diagnosis, management and prevention of
congenital malaria has been attempted in the Indian perspective.
