Imported malaria in adults: about a case of cerebral malaria
Analysis of malaria case reports in the literature reveals the great scientific contribution of autopsies, as most of the data related to CM have been drawn from autopsy observations. Pathogenic mechanisms leading to cerebral malaria were at the beginning poorly defined as studies have been hampered by limited access to human tissues.

Malaria is an infectious malady caused by Plasmodium parasites, cerebral malaria standing out as one of its most severe complications. Clinical manifestation include elevated body temperature, loss of consciousness, and seizures. However, reports of cerebral malaria presenting as nonconvulsive status epilepticus are extremely rare. The case presented involves psychiatric symptoms, with the ...
Cerebral Malaria Presenting With Shock in an Adolescent: A Case Report
Abstract. Cerebral malaria (CM) is a severe infection of the brain caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum. It is commonly found as a complication of infection traveling to the brain. CM has a poor prognosis unless promptly identified and treated. This case report describes a 15-year-old girl who suddenly started experiencing a tonic ...
A Rare Case of Cerebral Malaria with Neurologic Recovery
the host. Cerebral malaria, the most severe complication of Plasmodium falciparum infection, may present with progressive delirium, seizures, and coma and can lead to serious consequences in low-resource countries. We present a case of cerebral malaria in an adult after recent travel to a malaria-endemic country that was treated
Pathophysiology and neurologic sequelae of cerebral malaria
Cerebral malaria (CM), results from Plasmodium falciparum infection, and has a high mortality rate. CM survivors can retain life-long post CM sequelae, including seizures and neurocognitive deficits profoundly affecting their quality of life. As the Plasmodium parasite does not enter the brain, but resides inside erythrocytes and are confined to the lumen of the brain's vasculature, the ...

Pathogenetic mechanisms and treatment targets in cerebral malaria
Cerebral malaria is an acute, life-threatening cerebrovascular complication characterized by unarousable coma; children <5 years are most at risk, although cerebral malaria can develop at any age.

However, a study investigating serum samples from malaria patients showed significantly lower levels of VEGF-A in cerebral malaria non-survivors, pointing instead to a protective effect of VEGF-A in cerebral complications of malaria . Similar protective effects on the vascular brain endothelium are mediated by angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and its ...
NIH study supports new approach for treating cerebral malaria
The results of the current study demonstrate an increased accumulation of CTLs along the walls of brain blood vessel in the cerebral malaria tissue samples compared to non-cerebral malaria cases. In addition, the CTLs were shown to contain and release effector molecules, which damage cells, suggesting that CTLs play a critical role in cerebral ...

Co-infection with plasmodium falciparum and COVID-19 with lethal
However, it is quite possible that COVID-19 contributed to the severity of malaria. Further studies at the molecular level on the interaction of proinflammatory cytokines in co-infection with non-immune malaria patients are needed. In cases of return from malaria endemic areas and febrility, patients must be tested for both diseases.

In mice with cerebral malaria, high dose erythropoietin reduced mortality by 40-90%, (reviewed in) and in children, plasma levels >200u/L were associated with ~80% less risk of sequelae. A phase I study of erythropoietin, 1500u/kg, in children with cerebral malaria was recently concluded without any major concerns about the safety.
