Although malaria is endemic in India, neonatal disease is considered rare. We report a case of neonatal malaria in a 26-day-old neonate with fever and splenomegaly who was diagnosed after a long and unsuccessful battery of tests for splenomegaly. Routine screening for malaria is essential for all neonates with fever in endemic areas. Early diagnosis and treatment of malaria could effectively prevent infant mortality.

In Papua, splenectomized individuals have greater risk of malaria in the 12 months following splenectomy but not of mortality. Malaria risk was higher for Plasmodium vivax than P. falciparum. Early radical cure and prophylaxis are warranted in malaria endemic areas.
