Résumé
Le syndrome neurologique postpaludisme (SNPP) est une complication rare du paludisme. Il survient habituellement après un paludisme grave. Nous rapportons un cas de SNPP compliquant un paludisme simple à Plasmodium falciparum chez un patient malgache. La prise en charge du SNPP est complètement différente d’un accès palustre. Aucun traitement spécifique n’est nécessaire.
Abstract
Post-malaria neurological syndrome is a rare complication of malaria. Typically, it occurs in case of severe malaria. Here we report a case in a Malagasy patient presenting a non-severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria complicated by post-malaria neurological syndrome. The management of such a syndrome is radically different from non-severe malaria. No specific treatment is needed.
