Splenic rupture. This may occur spontaneously or after an unobserved trauma. This complication can occur in P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale or P. malariae. The presence of intraperitoneal fluid is suggestive in this context. In these cases ultrasound can often detect a splenic haematoma, splenic rupture or intraperitoneal fluid. A diagnostic peritoneal lavage may be indicated.
