Isolated myoclonus has rarely been reported as a complication of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. We describe the development of chaotic myoclonic jerks in an afebrile and conscious patient, the fourth day of treatment with quinine for P. falciparum infection. The myoclonus finally resulted in a generalized tonic-clonic seizure and coma, which resolved without further antimalarial treatment.
孤立性肌阵挛作为恶性疟原虫疟疾的一种并发症鲜有报道。我们描述了一名发热消退且意识清醒的患者在接受奎宁治疗恶性疟原虫感染的第四天出现了混乱的肌阵挛性抽搐。该肌阵挛最终导致全身性强直阵挛发作和昏迷，在未进一步进行抗疟治疗的情况下症状得以缓解。
