Two Saudi patients who underwent cardiac surgery, developed fever after being discharged from hospital. Both received blood transfusion during operation. The cause of fever was found to be due to malaria acquired from the transfused blood. As no single measure could prevent transfusion malaria, clinical awareness of the condition should lead to early diagnosis and management of such cases.
