Department of Medicine, Neurology Section, S.P. Medical College, Bikaner, India
Sir,
There are reports in the literature of patients with P. falciparum malaria presenting without impairment of consciousness but with signs of cerebellar dysfunction.1 Most of these cases have been reported from the Indian subcontinent. Cerebellar ataxia is also commonly reported in cerebral malaria survivors after recovery from coma in both children and adults. More recently, a syndrome of delayed cerebellar ataxia (DCA) has also been described
