Abstract
Mixed-malaria infections are often under recognized, despite their high morbimortality. The presence of more than one species of Plasmodium spp. in association with clinical symptoms configures a mixed-malaria infection. A pediatric patient diagnosed with mixed-malaria infection in a non-endemic zone hospital is described. A brief review and its therapeutic approach for Colombia are presented.
