What Are the Symptoms of Cerebral Malaria in Children?
Early symptoms of cerebral malaria in children can be non-specific and may include fever, irritability, and poor feeding. As the disease progresses, more severe symptoms such as persistent vomiting, severe headache, drowsiness, and seizures may occur. The hallmark of cerebral malaria is an unarousable coma, which, if not promptly treated, can lead to fatal outcomes.
