	abstract = {A patient with end-stage renal disease who acquired Plasmodium vivax infection after renal transplantation is reported. This 24-year-old male, a native of Taiwan, had chronic renal failure due to nephrotic syndrome of unknown etiology and had been maintained on regular hemodialysis. He developed a fever 18 days after receiving a blood transfusion and a renal allograft transplant from unknown donors in India, while he was taking corticosteroids, azathioprine and cyclosporine. Ring forms, schizonts and trophozoits of P. vivax were found in the patient{\textquoteright}s peripheral blood. He achieved defervescence after a three-day treatment of chloroquine. Malaria should be considered in the differential diagnosis of fever in transplant recipients who have received organs or blood products from an area of endemic malaria.},
