Uttley, K.H., 1961: Epidemiology and mortality of malaria in Antigua, BWI, 1857-1956. Registration of deaths and the/certification of the cause of death have been fairly accurate in Antigua for the last century; a survey of these records shows that during that period malaria has been moderately prevalent, with wide variations, unti...

Schmutzhard, E.; Aichner, F.; Gerstenbrand, F., 1983: Cerebral malaria - epidemiology, pathology, clinical picture, therapy. 43.3% of malaria cases imported into the German Federal Republic in the 1970's were Plasmodium falciparum, mostly from Africa. The epidemiology, pathology, symptomatology and therapy (chloroquine, quinine and other drugs) are described, based...

Cerebral Malaria (CM) is a diffuse encephalopathy caused by Plasmodium falciparum infection.

Rho M., 1984: Cerebral malaria epidemiology clinical aspects and prevalence in a rural hospital in uganda. Cerebral malaria, a particular manifestation of malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum, has been studied among the children admitted in a hospital of North Uganda [Africa]. Cerebral malaria appears in subjects without a specific immunity, can be rap...

Carme, B.; Bouquety, J.C.; Plassart, H., 1993: Mortality and sequelae due to cerebral malaria in African children in Brazzaville, Congo. This study was carried out on 170 children admitted to the University Hospital of Brazzaville (Congo) for cerebral malaria between January 1, 1988 and June 30, 1989. The selection criteria were 1) unarousable coma, cerebrospinal fluid without micr...

Gbadoe, A.D.; Amenyah, K.A.; Agbere, A.D.; Assimadi, J.K., 2004: Decrease in the mortality rate of cerebral malaria after systematic infusion of 10% glucose. A previous study of cerebral malaria in children in Togo in 1994-1995 showed that the mortality rate was 21.4% and that hypoglycaemia was a frequent complication (11.6%). A link between hypoglycaemia and mortality rate has since been established....
