Tóm tắt

The application of neuroimaging techniques to patients with Plasmodium falciparum infection has uncovered a wide range of brain changes not only in cerebral malaria but also in noncomatose patients. We propose several hypotheses to unify findings across the spectrum of clinical malaria in adults and highlight the urgent need to evaluate potential long-term effects of cerebral alterations on neurocognition in this understudied age group.
