The exact pathogenesis of vivax related renal failure is unknown as renal biopsies are done infrequently. We report a 10 year old boy with renal failure and severe thrombocytopenia due to vivax infection wherein the renal histopathological examination revealed thrombotic microangiopathy. We suggest this as one of the important underlying mechanisms of vivax-induced renal failure.}, number={1}, publisher={Bilal YILDIZ}
