The paper describes a clinical case of imported severe Pfalciparum malaria in a French citizen treated at the clinic of the Research Institute of Epidemiology, Microbiology, and Infectious Disdases, Ministry of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Due to the fact that the patient with tropical malaria sought medical advice too late, the disease was complicated by grade I malaria-induced coma, acute renal failure- in an oliguric phase, severe anemia, and disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome. Thanks to effective etiopathogenetic and pathogenetic therapy, the patient recovered and returned to his motherland.
