Cerebral malaria

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1989
Cerebral malaria is the most important manifestation of severe Plasmodium falciparum infection. The clinical picture in South East Asian adults differs from that in African children. The children are more likely to have abnormal brain stem reflexes, signs suggestive of cerebral herniation, and raised CSF opening pressure, and to suffer persistent ...

Delayed gastric emptying time in adult cerebral falciparum malaria [PDF]

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2012
Objective: We hypothesize that upper gastrointestinal symptoms in cerebral malaria are due to gastric motordysfunction. But gastric motility studies in cerebral malaria are scarce.Methods: We determined gastric emptying half-time (GET½) of liquid meals ...
