Abstract:
Albeit malaria is a common health problem in many parts of the world, the entity of post-malaria neurological syndrome (PMNS) is not well recognized. This is a rare entity of neurological and psychiatric manifestations described in patients with falciparum malaria which usually develops within 2 months of recovery from the illness. It has been reported in 1.2/1000 falciparum malaria cases, more commonly in those with severe disease. We report case of a 62-yrs-old male presenting with recurrent generalized seizures following adequately treated vivax malaria. Relevant investigations were done to rule out other differentials. The patient recovered completely reiterating the self-limiting course of PMNS. Occurrence of PMNS following uncomplicated vivax malaria is peculiar in this report.
