Case reports: pernicious complications of benign tertian malaria.
We describe 2 patients with complications of Plasmodium vivax malaria. Both patients developed marked intravascular haemolysis and haemoglobinuria despite normal levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in blood. One required mechanical ventilation because of life-threatening hypoxia due to acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Case report: Schistosoma mansoni infection: failure of standard treatment with praziquantel in a returned traveller.
Heavy reliance upon praziquantel for the treatment of schistosomiasis raises concerns over potential development of drug resistance. We describe a British traveller who acquired Schistosoma mansoni infection in East Africa and in whom repeated standard 40 mg/kg doses of praziquantel failed to clear the infection despite no opportunity for reinfection.
