JAMA 297:2232-2240, Idro,R.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Neurological involvement is common in children in Kenya with acute falciparum malaria, and is associated with metabolic derangements, impaired perfusion, parasitemia, and increased mortality and neurological sequelae. This study suggests that falciparum malaria exposes many African children to brain insults.
