Postmalaria neurologic syndrome is an under-recognized self-resolving acute neuropsychiatric condition, usually occurring after complete recovery from malaria. We describe the case of a 7-year-old child who presented with an afebrile lymphocytic meningoencephalitis. The notion of a previously treated malaria episode and the absence of malaria during current episode led us postmalaria neurologic syndrome diagnosis with secondary spontaneous outcome.
疟后神经综合征是一种未被充分认识的自限性急性神经精神疾病,通常发生在疟疾完全康复后。我们描述了一例 7 岁儿童的病例,其表现为无热淋巴细胞性脑膜脑炎。先前治疗过疟疾发作和当前发作期间无疟疾的概念提示我们诊断为疟后神经综合征,其结局为继发性自发性恢复。
