* In a study by Kochar et al, [12] anaemia were most common manifestations followed by DIC and

'Children under the age of six years, pregnant women and people who are not indigenous to areas where malaria is pervasive and have not yet fostered this immunity by building up enough antibodies, are left susceptible to the more severe manifestations of

The other most severe complication of malaria is
cerebral malaria, marked by impaired consciousness, coma, neurologic abnormalities and seizures [45,47,50,51].

Because his clinical condition worsened rapidly, the patient was transferred the next day to the Infectious Diseases Department in the same hospital because
cerebral malaria was diagnosed.
