Background.  Malaria is a one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in tropical countries.  Plasmodium vivax  ( P. vivax ) is usually thought to be causing benign malaria with low incidence of complications as compared to  Plasmodium falciparum  ( P. falciparum ).  Methods.  This retrospective observational study included malaria patients who were admitted to K.T. Children Hospital and P.D.U. Government Medical College, Rajkot, a tertiary care teaching hospital, Gujarat, western India, during the period January 2012 to December 2012. Inclusion criteria were patients in whom either  P. falciparum  or  P. vivax  was positive on rapid malaria antigen test and peripheral blood smear. Patients showing mixed infections were excluded from study.  Results.  A total of 79 subjects (mean age 5.4 ± 3.6 years) were included in the study. It consisted of 47  P. vivax  and 32  P. falciparum  cases. The  P. vivax  cases consisted of 33 (70.2%) males and 11 (19.8%) females while  P. falciparum  cases consisted of 14 (43.8%) males and 18 (56.2%) females. One patient of each  P. vivax  and  P. falciparum  expired. There was no statistical significant difference found between complications such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, liver and renal dysfunction, ARDS, and cerebral malaria between  P. vivax  and  P. falciparum .  Conclusion.  We conclude that  P. vivax  monoinfection tends to have as similar course and complications as compared to malaria due to  P. falciparum  monoinfection.
