To characterize the neurocognitive sequelae of cerebral malaria (CM) in an adult sample of the city of Benguela, Angola.
A neuropsychological assessment was carried out in 22 subjects with prior history of CM ranging from 6 to 12 months after the infection. The obtained results were compared to a control group with no previous history of cerebral malaria. The study was conducted in Benguela Central Hospital, Angola in 2011.
CM group obtained lower results on the two last trials of a verbal learning task and on an abstract reasoning test.
CM is associated to a slower verbal learning rate and to difficulties in the ability to discriminate and perceive relations between new elements.
在安哥拉本格拉市的一个成年样本中,对脑型疟疾(CM)的神经认知后遗症进行特征描述。
对22名有脑型疟疾既往史的受试者进行了神经心理学评估,评估在感染后6至12个月进行。将所得结果与无脑型疟疾既往史的对照组进行比较。该研究于2011年在安哥拉本格拉中心医院开展。
脑型疟疾组在语言学习任务的最后两次试验以及抽象推理测试中得分较低。
脑型疟疾与较慢的语言学习速度以及辨别和感知新元素之间关系的能力困难有关。
