This is a case-report of two patients with cerebral malaria (CM) imported from West-African countries. Notably, this form of malaria was developed as a second disease episode, while the first episode was experienced in West Africa. These findings suggest that the second episode of malaria was caused by a different strain of Plasmodium falciparum as compared to the first one. They are the first cerebral malaria cases imported in Albania after the eradication and absence of Plasmodium for five decades. Early treatment of cerebral malaria is decisive on the duration of coma and disease's outcome.
这是一篇关于两名从西非国家输入性脑型疟疾（CM）患者的病例报告。值得注意的是，这种疟疾形式是作为第二次发病出现的，而第一次发病是在西非经历的。这些发现表明，与第一次相比，第二次疟疾发作是由不同株的恶性疟原虫引起的。它们是阿尔巴尼亚在疟疾根除且疟原虫消失五十年后首次输入的脑型疟疾病例。脑型疟疾的早期治疗对昏迷持续时间和疾病转归起决定性作用。
