A 12-year-old Dutch boy was admitted because of severe neurotrauma after a traffic accident. On day 33 after admission, a Plasmodium falciparum infection was found in a routine blood smear. Most probably he was infected by blood of a patient next to him, a girl with severe malaria tropica. The genotype of the P. falciparum in both patients was identical.
