AB  - Severe malaria is a concerning problem in developing country and is mostly due to 
      Plasmodium Falciparum. Common organs involved are liver, central nervous system, 
      lungs, kidneys, and vasculature. Cardiac involvement is very rare and is mostly 
      underestimated. Cardiac involvement occurs in the form of myocardial dysfunction, 
      arrhythmia, and ventricular systolic dysfunction. This is the rare case of acute 
      pericarditis due to plasmodium falciparum mimicking as inferolateral ST elevation 
      myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to suggestive electrocardiography (ECG) 
      findings.
