Abstract
Summary: A patient with severe hypoglycaemia complicating cerebral malaria is reported. No other recognized cause of hypoglycaemia was detected during life or at autopsy. This case adds to the existing evidence that, through several possible mechanisms, cerebral malaria can give rise to life-threatening hypoglycaemia.Keywords
