title: [Algid malaria: a syndromic diagnosis].
abstract: Two patients with malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum who progressed to shock syndrome are reported. They received hemodynamic support in an intensive care unit without using antibiotics and presented improvements. Algid malaria should be a syndromic diagnosis of varying etiology (dehydration, bacterial infection, bleeding and/or adrenal insufficiency).
