Hypoglycaemia and cerebral malaria [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1986 Summary A patient with severe hypoglycaemia complicating cerebral malaria is reported. No other recognized cause of hypoglycaemia was detected during life or at autopsy. This case adds to the existing evidence that, through several possible mechanisms, cerebral malaria can give rise to life-threatening hypoglycaemia.

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2004 Successful management of cerebral malaria requires rapid diagnosis, initiation of appropriate antimalarial agents, and aggressive supportive care. The antimalarial used will depend on drug availability, with many of the most effective agents not routinely available in the US.
