Severe malaria causes nearly one million deaths annually in endemic areas and is a public health priority worldwide. Severity associated with the occurrence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a well-known complication of infection with Plasmodium falciparum and can reach 25% of infected adults. However, ARDS is less often described with other Plasmodium species. We report the case of a young Moroccan soldier who died in an array of ARDS related to malaria of Plasmodium ovale 7 months after his return from an endemic country.
