The main cause of complicated malaria is Plasmodium falciparum, and the frequency of Plasmodium vivax is also increasing. In this article, we presented a patient that is complicated with acute respiratory distraction syndrome and we apply the support of extrakorporeal membrane oxigenation. The patient was 49 years old, and after the upper right lobectomy surgery for squamocellular cancer, hypoxemia developed and progressive bilateral infiltrations appeared in the lung graph. Not present in the preoperative period, fever, thrombocytopenia and splenomegaly were observed. Peripheral spread was made and plasmodium vivax infection was detected. His hypoxemia was deepened and enthusiast. In the bronchoscopic assessment, the fistule was detected when the lobectomy was driven. Refracter hypoxemy and fistul healing were supported by venous-venous extracorporal membrane oxidation, but the patient was lost despite lung protective ventilation strategies and extracorporal membrane oxidation. With this fact, we wanted to emphasize that plasmodium vivax can rarely cause acute respiratory distraction syndrome and multiple organ insufficiency.
