Overview
Cerebral malaria is a severe form of malaria caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which is transmitted through a mosquito bite. It is a major cause of death in endemic areas and is associated with severe neurological deficits, such as coma, seizures, and encephalopathy. Treatment typically involves a combination of antimalarial drugs, such as chloroquine or artemisinin, and supportive care. Early diagnosis is essential for successful treatment and prevention of long-term neurological damage. Cerebral malaria is a life-threatening disease that requires prompt medical attention and treatment.
