Cerebral malaria: Seek help timely to avoid neurocognitive sequelae.
The existence of Malaria parasites in the blood, coupled with the comatose state was enough confirmation to the Physician's diagnosis (Cerebral malaria) as per the World Health Organization definition for Cerebral malaria. Late admission of children with prodromal signs of malaria precipitates its transition to cerebral malaria and it neurocognitive sequelae. There has been a broad study on cerebral malaria, however, little is known about the knowledge level of parents on the existence of its neurocognitive sequelae. Thus, there is no appropriate extrapolation on the number of parents who are adequately knowledgeable on the neurocognitive sequelae of cerebral malaria. This article, therefore, looks forward to sensitizing parents and guardians on the existence of neurocognitive sequelae following cerebral malaria and the need to seek immediate medical care during its prodromal stage.
