We report two cases of Plasmodium vivax malaria (both aged 12 years) complicated by seizures and symptoms of diffuse meningoencephalitis. One had predominantly meningeal signs while in the other, purely encephalitis features were present. Both cases were treated with artesunate. Rarely, cerebral malaria is a presenting complication or occurs during the course of P. vivax infection.
我们报告了两例间日疟原虫疟疾(均为12岁),伴有癫痫发作及弥漫性脑膜脑炎症状。其中一例主要表现为脑膜刺激征,另一例则仅有脑炎特征。两例均接受了青蒿琥酯治疗。脑型疟疾很少作为首发并发症出现,或在间日疟原虫感染过程中发生。
