title: Severe subconjunctival haemorrhage associated with malaria.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a patient with sudden onset of subconjunctival haemorrhage related to malaria.
  
  
  METHODS
  A case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient, who had a history of malaria, had bilateral subconjunctival haemorrhages. General examination showed no abnormality except malaria. All signs of conjunctival haemorrhages resolved later.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ocular malaria should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subconjunctival haemorrhages.
