I read with interest the article on 'hypokalemic paralysis in an adult with P vivax malaria' and thank the authors for reporting such an unusual presentation.However I would like to point out certain errors in citation and quotation of a reference made by the authors.
Reference no. 4 has been wrongly cited. The spelling of the first author has been misspelt as Dworak instead as Dvorak.
The reference itself has been wrongly cited as"Invasion of the electrolytes by the malarial parasite" instead of "Invasion of erythrocytes by malarial merozoites."
Moreover the article by Dvorak et al deals with an electro-optical system which was developed by them to record microscope images with high resolution at low light intensities and not with electrolyte abnormalities in malaria.
