[Malaria attack: a very late relapse due to Plasmodium vivax].
Plasmodium vivax malaria late-forms rarely exceed two years--the authors reported a late-form more than twenty years after a stay in endemic area. This late-form occurred in an immunocompromised patient with two terminal-stage neoplasia receiving radio, chimio corticotherapy associated with anemia and thrombopenia. Repeated-tests allowed the diagnostic.
