Malaria is the most important parasitic disease of humankind. Cerebral malaria is malaria’s deadliest clinical manifestation and has a profound public health impact in endemic areas. In Africa, it is primarily a disease of childhood. Here we review recent updates in research into cerebral malaria pathogenesis, clinical care, treatment, and prevention ...

Cerebral malaria is an unusual and treatable cause of stupor and coma, and it can present suddenly in a healthy person. It is diagnosed by finding parasites on a blood smear and is treated either with chloroquine or with quinine, pyrimethamine, and sulfadiazine.

Malaria, the most significant parasitic disease of man, kills approximately one million people per year. Half of these deaths occur in those with cerebral malaria (CM). The World Health Organization (WHO) defines CM as an otherwise unexplained coma in a patient with malarial parasitemia.

Cerebral malaria and immunogenetics
Parasite Immunology, 2000Cerebral malaria depends largely on the capacity of Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells to adhere to the endothelia of microvessels, leading to their occlusion. The most important players include receptors expressed on the surface of the endothelial cell and known to interact with the parasite, cytokines modulating the expression of these ...

Immunopathogenesis of cerebral malaria
International Journal for Parasitology, 2006Malaria is one of the most important global health problems, potentially affecting more than one third of the world's population. Cerebral malaria (CM) is a deadly complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection, yet its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood.

Bacteraemia in cerebral malaria
Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, 1998As part of a treatment trial of cerebral malaria, blood cultures were done in 276 Gambian children, aged between 1 and 9 years, with cerebral malaria. Fourteen (5%) of these were positive. The organisms isolated were Staphylococcus aureus (6), coliforms (4), Pseudomonas spp. (2), Salmonella spp. (1) and Streptococcus spp. (1).

Presented here is our experience with 30 cases of cerebral malaria. The diagnosis in all of them was based on a positive smear report. Plasmodium falciparum accounted for 26 cases while P. vivax was responsible for cerebral malaria in the remaining 4. There were 21 males and 9 females.

SummaryMalaria, one of the most common parasitic diseases worldwide, is responsible for more than one million deaths among African children every year. Its neurological form, known as cerebral malaria (CM) is a potential cause of epilepsy in malaria‐endemic regions of the world, primarily made up for the most part by the sub‐Saharan Africa.
